So what you are saying is that the correct way of interpretation would be as follows:
6/ 2(2+1)
6/2 x (2+1)
3 x 3
9
I know I am old but not so old as 1917. Perhaps what we are seeing here is a huge difference in how to read the equation. I still see the answer as one, as the 2 is associated with a multiplication of whatever is within the parenthesis.
6/2(2+1)
6/2(3)
6/6
1
Fascinating and rather dangerous given that math is supposed to be a universal language, is the internet really stumped or am I really that old?
