RE: Order of operations - what is 6÷2(1+2) ?
I was always taught that you do the () first (without mention of implied * or not)
So 6÷2(1+2) should simplify to 6÷2(3) 6÷6 1 or distribute: 6÷(2+4) 6÷6 1 notice if you tried without doing the () first the distributive property wouldn't work properly 6÷2*3 3*3 9 or 6÷2+4 3+4 7 So you have to do the () first for the distributive property to work. |
