What you guys don't know is that this is ambiguous mathematics questions which can have multiple answer according to your interpretations. This means 1 and 9 can be both right answers, I will explain. .
If you calculate by smartphone calculator 6÷2(2+1)
Then due to basic programming it give result from left to right as
6÷2(3)= 9
3(3)=9
9 is a correct answer to this by applying the above formula. Those who got 9 got is right through explanation.
On other hand, scientific calculator calculate 6÷2(2+1) -
=6÷2(3)
=6÷6
=1
But 1 is correct answer by standard mathematics as this formula should be interpreted as “6 / (2 * (2 + 1))”, so the result is 1.
Hesabu huwa inatoa majibu mazuri kupitia mifano, got this somewhere:
I buy a snack for $2 and a drink $1, and I do this twice a week. How many weeks can I do this with $6?
$6 / 2($2+$1) = 1 (week)
