6 divided by 2(1+2)
The correct order of operations, also known as PEMDAS, is Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). In this case, the parentheses should be solved first, followed by the multiplication, and then the division.
The answer to 6 divided by 2(1+2) is 9. This is because the parentheses should be solved first, resulting in 6 divided by 2(3). Then, using the correct order of operations, the multiplication should be solved before the division, resulting in 6 divided by 6, which equals 1. However, since the parentheses were initially solved, the final answer is 9.
The answer to 6 divided by 2(1+2) is not 3 because of the order of operations. As mentioned before, the parentheses should be solved first, resulting in 6 divided by 2(3). Then, using the correct order of operations, the multiplication should be solved before the division, resulting in 6 divided by 6, which equals 1. Therefore, the answer is 1, not 3.
Yes, the equation 6 divided by 2(1+2) can be simplified. As mentioned before, the parentheses should be solved first, resulting in 6 divided by 2(3). Then, using the correct order of operations, the multiplication should be solved before the division, resulting in 6 divided by 6, which equals 1. Therefore, the final answer is 1.
If the parentheses are not included in the equation 6 divided by 2(1+2), the answer would be different. Without the parentheses, the equation would be interpreted as 6 divided by 2 multiplied by 1 plus 2, resulting in an answer of 5. This is because without the parentheses, the multiplication and division would be solved from left to right, resulting in a different order of operations and a different answer.
