    Evidently there are two equally valid answers for this equation, each depends upon when you first learned math. Have fun!

      It’s 1. I don’t see how it could be anything else personally?

      It's 1.

      There's no other answer.

      Order of operations.

      Parenthesis, multiplication and then division.

      One plus two is three.

      Three times two is six.

      Any number divided by itself is one.

      Six divide by six is one.

      Microsoft Excel won't accept the formula without a multiplication symbol between the first 2 and the parentheses.

      The answer is 9.

      So apparently the correct answer is actually 9. Multiplication and division are equal in the order of operations (not how we were all taught). So you’d divide first as you go left to right when doing operations that are equivalent

      me, too.
      actually, I don't hate it, but I am terrible at math... and really pathetically terrible at arithmetic, especially when fractions are involved.
      I picked a kind of funny line of work. :#

      Our son is a mathematician and our daughter's an economist. They are amused when they watch me try to figure out, say, how much larger (in percentage) is 4 than 3.

      :|

      (I actually knew the order of operations thing -- but that doesn't mean I'd do it right)

      Look, you can use the fuzzy math all you want but in every logical circuit design, the multiplication operator associated with the parenthesis gets operated on first because of it's association with the parenthesis. The division comes second because the parenthesis gives the multiplication a priority bump. It's known as "multiplication denoted by juxtaposition" and it sets a higher priority than a standalone multiplcation operator.

      Every computer out there including the one you are reading this on operates under that assumption for the order of operations.

      The answer to the equation is 1. Not 9.

      Same thought process I had. I guess that’s why this question exists, just to piss people off lol. All the articles out there are saying the only right answer is 9. I never even considered 9 over 1

      This will get 1:

      =6/(2*(2+1))

      Question - Is the answer dependent on Common Core math or what?

      No, the method has been used for more than a hundred years, but I do suspect common core math was just designed so parents could no longer help their kids with their math homework. :)

      The Google calculator also says the answer is 9.

      My method is very easy & straightforward. Whenever I disassemble anything & after I reassemble there's always one screw left over! I get 1 too & I'm sticking too it!

      I guess it's just that fuzzy math. Nowadays the answer can identify with whatever number he, she, it, them, they prefer.

      If you didn’t want to intentionally confuse people, you could have written the equation differently, which I will not attempt here.

      Math is a global, if not universal, language. There are basic rules and standards for its use and interpretation that make it work the same for everyone.

      Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go divide some Schiit by zero and see what happens.
