Solve the equation with mental calculation
Here is a simple mental calculation that is actually quite simple, but you must remember the order of operations to solve it. What to solve first, and what last. Time to see how much you remember.
Below you’ll find the problem.
When the mathematics question became viral on Facebook a few years ago, it garnered the attention of 3.42 million people as people were divided between two answers; 1 and 9.
So, what is the answer? 1 or 9?
Do you remember how to do the calculation? If not, we’ll show you the answer after the picture below.
A
B
C
Here is the correct answer
So, which one is the correct answer? The answer is 9.
Let’s talk about the solution. 6 ÷ 2 (1+2) = ?
First, we need to solve the equation in the brackets: 1+2 = 3
Now the actual equation is 6 ÷ 2 x 3 =?
The solution is: 6÷2 x 3 = 9
Thus, the correct answer is 9!
Just in case someone tries to argue that the answer is 1, perhaps you can show them this calculation!
Did you get it? Well done! You can be proud of yourself!
