Problem: Can you solve 6/2(2+1) for me?

Note: this is not 6 divided by (2 times the quantity (2 + 1)). It is 6/2 times the quantity (2 + 1).

It doesn't matter whether you solve each part first, giving 3 * 3, or multiply each number in parentheses by 6/2, you get the same answer.

(6/2) * (2 + 1) = ((6/2) * 2) + ((6/2) * 1) = (3 * 2) + (3 * 1) = 6 + 3 = 9

Or

(6/2) * (2 + 1) = 3 * 3 = 9

 

There is no possible way to get 1 from this problem.
