Ok, so was surfing facebook as per usual. And came across this picture.
Now, answer below what you think it is. Let's see who knows their maths.

Give a reason/ your working out if you feel like it. I'm curious.

Running by BODMAS... it's brackets first, then division and multiplication, so...
1 + 2 = 3
gives:
6 / 2 * 3
gives:
3 * 3
which gives 9.
If going through PEMDAS:
6 / 2 * 3
6 / 6
1
So yeah, it all depends on what you learned growing up. Our school had BODMAS.

Y'all are using PEMDAS incorrectly. Correct answer is 9. Contrary to popular belief, PEMDAS does NOT mean you do multiplication first.
P
Parentheses first
E
Exponents (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.)
MD
Multiplication and Division (left-to-right--i.e. whichever comes first)
AS
Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)
BODMAS is exactly the same thing:
B
Brackets first
O
Orders (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.)
DM
Division and Multiplication (left-to-right)
AS
Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)
So the correct way to solve it is to do the parenthesis first, THEN the division, since it comes before multiplication in this problem.
I'm a math tutor, so suck it.
