Re: So... how good is your math skills?
i also got to 9, but by rethinking it, it should be 1. 2 x 3= 6 and 6/6 = 1

You have 6 apples and 2 classes with 2 boys and 1 girl.
How many apples do each person get?

Re: So... how good is your math skills?
where is the math teachers? maybe i"m over thinking it? but i would read it as 6 devided by 2 times 1+2(wich in my oppinion should be done first) and that give you 2 times 3 = 6. then you devide 6 by 6 and the answer is 1.

Re: So... how good is your math skills?
in my opinion the answer would have been 9 if it was written : 6/2 x (1+2) = 9

Re: So... how good is your math skills?
There are 6 Mice, where always 2 mice become one pair. One pair gets 1 male mouse and 2 female mous offspring. How many offspring do all mice together have?
6 mice, 2 make a pair, so 6÷2=3. Offspring 1 male, 2 female (1+2)=3. 3*3=9

Re: So... how good is your math skills?
My rusty math skills remembers the following - you should always do the calculation in the brackets first - and then work from left to right - so that would be:
6 divided by (/) 2 times 3
So that is 6/2 is 3 and 3 x 3 is 9...
6 divided by (/) 2 times 3
So that is 6/2 is 3 and 3 x 3 is 9...

Re: So... how good is your math skills?
Okay... according to me using math rules:
6/2(1+2) = z
6(1+2) = 2z Multiply by 2
(1+2) = 2z/6 Divide by 6
(1+2) = 1/3z
3=1/3z Multiply by 6
9=z
6/2(1+2) = z
6(1+2) = 2z Multiply by 2
(1+2) = 2z/6 Divide by 6
(1+2) = 1/3z
3=1/3z Multiply by 6
9=z

Dit is nie te se ek is reg nie maar soos ek dit het:
Orde van bewerking
Hakies
Eksponente en vierkantswortels

Plus en minus
Links na regs
En volgens daai reels is dit heel maklik en vinnig

Re: So... how good is your math skills?
Jy moet eers die maalsom doen, dan die deelsom... dan is dit 1.. as jy eers die deelsom doen en dan die maalsom dan is dit 9 ....
Skryf hom in die 6 oor 2(3) (breuke) notasie wat dieselfde is as 6/2(3) dan werk jy hom uit..
6

Hang af of jy PEDMAS of BEMDAS gebruik om die antwoord te bereken... Al twee antwoorde is reg..

Re: So... how good is your math skills?
Volgens my is 9 meer reg as 1
Ek persoonlik maak oordentlik gebruik van hakkies juis om so iets te vermy. Kyk die verskil en hoe maklik weet mens nou:
(6/2)(1+2) en 6/(2(1+2))

Re: So... how good is your math skills?
Schooling these days is a crying shame.
I have to fork out big$$ every month for private schooling to teach my kids what I learned in an average run-of-the-mill government school!
God help the poor kids whose parents can"t afford to do that. a country is only as good as its education system.
I heard the minister of education on the radio this morning saying "why is it that SA does worse than any other African country with more resources?"
More corruption maybe???
I have to fork out big$$ every month for private schooling to teach my kids what I learned in an average run-of-the-mill government school!
God help the poor kids whose parents can"t afford to do that. a country is only as good as its education system.
I heard the minister of education on the radio this morning saying "why is it that SA does worse than any other African country with more resources?"
More corruption maybe???

Re: So... how good is your math skills?
I too came to 1 as the answer, but WolframAplha have decided it must be 9.
Best answer to the above and variations of this frustration as per the following website -
Quoted from http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/48293- I’m a math professor, and my view is that although the standard convention, if applied precisely and rigorously, does give an unambiguous procedure to follow, nobody, and that includes professional mathematicians, would ever write a formula like this.This is mostly because, after about 3rd grade, none of us ever use the division symbol ever again.
