The question is simple. What is your answer?

6/2(1+2)

Order of operations

PEMDAS Parentheses Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction

6/2(1+2) Parentheses = 6/2(3) [No  Exponents]

6/2(3)  Multiplication-Division = 3(3)

3(3) Multiplication-Division = 9

Multiplication and Division have the same precedence as each other so they must be read from left to right. This is the same as addition and subtraction.  If your answer was 1 it is because you did the multiplication first.
