Black people say the answer is 1 when white people say it's 9

Black people say the answer is 1 when white people say it's 9.

6/2 (2 + 1)
6/2 x 3
3 x 3
9

Are niggers truly dumb?

How do you get 1 out of that?

They're fucking multiplying 3 by 2 when you're supposed to divide after simplifying the parentheses.

Doing all the multiplication first, 6 / (2*3) = 1

Pemdas
M before d
Multiplication before division
6/2x3
6/6
1

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

It's an issue regarding the order of operations. You use PEMDAS so you as the 2 and 1 in the parenthesis to get 3, then it's an issue of whether you divide the 6 by the 2 or multiply the 2 and the 3 first. You're supposed to divide the 6 by the 2 first because you do whatever comes first in the equation. Thus you multiply (6/2) and 3 to get 9 as your answer.

Seems like the Casio fucked up and just ignored the first half of the problem.

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

I have no idea why it did this, though

the sign on the left one is a plus sign. it's 6+ and not 6/ as in the right one

6/(2(2+1)) that's the actual set up you moron... you have to distribute the 2 into the parentheses. If you're treating 2(2+1) as a deniminator it is 1. If (2+1) is for the numerator it is 9.

PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)

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

Forgot to mention, you're supposed to do division and multiplication during the same step. You're just supposed to do whatever comes first.

order of operations and distributive properties,
2(2 +1) is a seperate entity from 6/
(4+2)\6 or 1

no fucking one uses that division sign in calculations you retarded retards

math ruel point is first () are solfed as multiply
so answer is 9

Just use the distributive property.
6/2(2+1) = 6/2(2) +6/2(1) = 12/2 + 6/2 = 18/2 = 9

6/2(2+1)
parenthesis first
6/2*3
then multiplication
6/6 =1
a 4th grader could solve this correctly.
I'm starting to wonder who the dumb nigger is.

except that you didnt even use the distributive property correctly

Are you retarded? It's not a plus, and if it was a plus the answer would be 12.

6/2(2+1)
6 / (2*2+1*2)
6/ (4 + 2)
6/6 = 1

How did I use it incorrectly? The distributive property is that a(b+c) = ab+ac.

brackets > multiplication > division
6 / 2 * (2 + 1)
6 / 2 * 3
6 / 6
1

>i copy and paste PEMDAS so i must be right
6/2 (2 + 1) parenthesis are treated as
6/2(3) multiplication symbol if there is
3(3) only one number
9

oh shit you're right. guess i am retarded

Does this make it clear?

the answer is one, what the fuck is wrong with you fucking retards?

This.

6 / 2x
x = what's in the parentheses.

So, 6 / 6 .`. [ 2x = 2(2+1) = 2(3) = 6]

That'd be 6÷[2(2+1)]

or this

If anyone is confused about this, they don't realize that parentheses are not actually used in mathematics to denote multiplication. Parentheses are a way to denote an algebraic variable. Anything can be entered into that parenthetical expression, but in the context of this particular expression it happens to be a constant.

This.

How it'd be inputted depends on the calculator, tho. My TI-89 solves "6÷2(2+1)" like "(6÷2)(2+1)", which is the correct answer (9), but some shitty, lower end calculators will 'solve' it like you have written, "6/(2(2+1))".

This is the fucking problem with PEMDAS being taught to stupid people. They won't remember that multiplication and division have the same priority and are simply done from left to right.

This is the only correct response.

PEMDAS does not work that way its P OR E M OR D and A OR S left to right as they appear in the equation.

Wtf?
You dont enter your operations more clearly?
Use either 6/(2*(2+1))
or (6/2)*(2+1)
depending on what your intention is.
Jesus Christ!

/thread
Fucking finally found a faggot who understands priorities. You read the problem left to right, like a book, IF the operations have the same level of priority. Mult is just another form of division, and vice versa. Just like addition is just another form of subtraction

is it 6/2 x (2+1) or 6:2x(2+1) ?

>6:2
What?

6 / 2(2+1)
>Brackets first: (2+1) = 3
>6 / 2*(3)
>2*3 = 6
>6 / 6 = 1

actually P and E are separate

It's P, E, MD, AS.

and the conclusion is stop using this bullshit " ÷ " you niggerjews

is it the calculator that's wrong?

why?

/thread

is it 6 halves x (2+1) or 6 divided by 2x(2+1)?

For all of those who are getting 1

You guys are thinking about it wrong.

When we say 6/2, what we're really doing is 6 * 0.5.

So if we do it like that, it becomes 6 * 0.5 * (2+1)
Then 6 * 0.5 * 3
And finally 3 * 3 = 9

You dumb nigger
6/2 = 3, not 2

9 is the correct answer if you follow the rules for solving equations.
In Germany we've known these since primary school before the 21st century but by now kids probably just learn numbers from 1 to 70 virgins and some basic arabic vocabulary and grammar there.

>6 halves
Yeah the order of operations means that division comes before multiplication in this problem

Asians say its 6

my good old casio fx-570ES says it's 9

>pemdas

without an extra multiplication sign some calculators interpret it as one term as 6 over 2*(2+1)
that gives you 6over6 and therefore one. others interpret it as 6 over 2 multiplied by (2+1)
therefore giving you 9.

or differently written: 6/(2*(2+1)) and (6/2)*(2+1)

RPN is the only way, brothers. Embrace RPN and be free of cancerous threads like this one.

ITT: Americans can't understand how things that look different can be treated equally

Lol clearly you fucks no less about math then niggers. Parenthesis THEN multiplication. The answer is 1.

ITT: People too dumb to calculate with fractions discuss about maths.

That's why you use fractions instead of shitty division signs, you morons.

People that understood math wouldn't need to use fractions to do a simple math problem

it's 1 and i'm white

2/10 made me respond

You fuckin stupid nigger. P, E, MD, AS. Follow the order of the groups. If there are multiple MD's or AS's, work left to right as you read them.

fractions are simple
so it's appropriate

holy shit everyone who says anything otehr than 1 is so fucking retarded

6 is its own nunmber
2(2+1) is treated as its own number because

6 divided by 2(2+1)

1

So is division. Hell i found division simpler than multiplying

fractions make division a lot simpler than it is on its own

>people still think maths are just numbers flying around
You should really understand the problem before putting it in a calculator

i'm a black belt mathologist
i've learned all the numbers, you guys can't even compare
