Question

How do you simplify `6÷2(1+2)` using PEMDAS?

Answer 1

9

Explanation:

Note that there is a multiplication sign between the 2 and the bracket.

6 will be divided ONLY by 2 and not by the product of the 2 and the bracket.
`6 ÷2 xx color(red)((1+2))`
=`color(blue)(6 ÷ 2)xxcolor(red)(3)`
=`color(blue)3 xx color(red)3`
=9.
