Re: 6÷2(2+1)=?
Following BODMAS
6÷2(2+1)=?
(2+1) = 3
6 ÷ 2 = 3
3 x 3 = 9

Re: 6÷2(2+1)=?
6÷2 ?(2+1)=?
It depends what do you put instead first ? If it's x then it's 9, if it's % then it's 1

If you write a simple SQL expression with this formula, it doesn't even work. You get an error. It's just a 'gotcha' question.
That being said, 9 is the correct answer.

Parenthesis = the brackets
The way I see it, the 6/2 is basically a fraction in front of the parenthesis.
Therefore it is 3(2+1) = 9

Re: 6÷2(2+1)=?
Ohh...people should just called them brackets
Some serious math snobs in here, it's pretty much a trick question otherwise there wouldn't be a thread about it.
