Id say its 1.

Use variables and its obvious .

x / y(a + b).

Which evaluates to:

x / (ya + yb)

Plug in the numbers
X =6
Y =2
A = 1
B = 2

And you get 1.

Only if you completely ignore PEMDAS and you're British and take the order of operations right to left.


The rest of us not interested in a completely wrong farking answer will continue to go left to right and get... 9.

On 2nd thought 6/2(1+2) is 9. These kinds of stupid questions are what they put on some tests and theyre racist sometimes too.

F-n put up some parantheses n00b or display the formula proper not on a single line of text.
