If I'm not mistaken....

62(1+2)

62(3)
66 =1

You're mistaken, but you shouldn't be. The rule is stupid. But technically the rule is that multiplication and division have equal status and you go left to right, so it is solved by adding the 1 and 2 first (because parentheses come first), then dividing 6 by 2, then multiplying by the 3.

But what you wrote SHOULD be the rule. It makes much more sense.

I was always taught multiplication first, in which case the answer is 1
