Mine automatically sets it up as 6/2 * (1+2)
Which simplifies to 3 * 3

I wonder if your age will effect your answer. If you learned mathematics before the universal use of calculators you might think of problems like this differently. A lot of kids these days just plug it into the calculator and have no idea how the answer is arrived at.
The first thing about this equation is that it is poorly notated because it allows for two different implied views.
For myself, I automatically see it as
6
---
2(1+2)
as that is how I'd write it on a piece of paper. To me, that is the only reason for the notation to be the way it is.

Well some people try to use the foil method, but you cant use that and get the right answer because there are no variables. It doesnt work like that.

6 / 2 * 1 * ( 1 + 2 )
6 / 2 * 1 * ( 3 )
3 * 1 * 3
3 * 3
9
Start with parenthesis, then work left to right
