Apparently a very simple question but My question basically is, whether the answer of the following equation is 9 or 1?
6 / 2 ( 1 + 2 )
Or put another way, do we divide first or multiply first? From a computer programming language perspective, we would solve this either left to right or right to left but I want to know the mathematical answer.
My thinking: There is not enough information in the question to solve this.
