Just seen this on Facebook questions.
6÷2(1+2)
1 or 9?
The majority of people have put 9. How can it possibly be 9?
Reading justifications for why it is 9 is infuriating so I was just wondering if any maths experts on here can clarify.
EDIT
There is no right or wrong answer. It's all in the interpretation of the expression which is inherently unclear.
