replied 3 years ago I got 9 in my calculation.
I go with 9 because according to my calculations it 9 that is correct
Yes
It is nine because 6 divided by 2 will give you 3, and then 2 plus 1 is 3 plus it in total it will give you 9
the answer is 1 because using BODMAS, you work the first
6/2(1+2)
=6/2(3)
=6/6
=1
Ok thanks love this hall so many interaction
The Calculator observed BODMAS where as the android didn’t observe BODMAS
The correct answer is 1 if bod ma’s is added but without bodmas the answer is
i got 9 actually
the answer is 9 according to my calculations
I think its actually 9
Because: 6÷2=3
3(2+1)
3(3)
3 × 3 = 9
And if using BODMAS STILL GET 9:
FIRST SOLVE THE BRACKET: (2 + 1)
( 3 )
And then divide: 6 ÷ 2 = 3
3(3) each means 3×3
= 9
6 ÷ 2 {2+1}
6 ÷ {2×2} + {2 × 1}
6 ÷ 4 + 2
6 ÷ 6
= 1 answer
