If you do PEMDAS, then you get

(1+2) = 3

6/2 = 3

3*3 = 9

There is no standard that calls for the implied multiplication to be of higher priority than a multiplication sign.
Multiplication is the same priority as division and is done left to right. The division comes before the multiplication on the line and so is done before the multiplication.
