It's 1
6/2(1+2) First you do the parentheses So 6/2(3) Here's where the trip up is for a lot of people, as 3 is still in parentheses we have to clear it out... keep in mind if it was written 6/2(1+2) it would be different but the multiplication sign is absent so we still have a parentheses to take care of: 6/6 Which equals 1. --- FC is 5429 7532 9059 ...

These are devious because some people see the slash as a division marker in a single-line equation, while others see it as representing a fraction with 6 on top and both the factors 2 and (1+2) on the bottom. Different calculators may also determine the input differently based on default or custom settings. Ffs, end the topic here. The op isnt even an equation without the = sign, so as far as we know, its just simplifying. Is 2/3 a request to divide 2 by 3, or claiming two-thirds?
