How could you ever get 1? Oh wait, I see what they're doing. How could you know that parentheses go first and then fuck the next part up? Wow...

Why would you get "1" or even "6"

I got 36. is that wrong?

[2fnloud]

I got 36 as well, entered the formula into Excel to check, result was 36 as well

Demotivator: The number of people that answer "1" on Facebook... and then try and explain how they are right, because you do parenthesis first.

36 / 6 (2 + 2 + 2)
= 36 / 6 (6)
= 6 (6)
= 36

I think the problem is people see 6(6) as a singular value, and don't see it as a multiplication operation. So 36 / 6 (6) is the same as 36 / 6 * 6

Same page repost, paul

Wat one?

36 / 6 (2 + 2 + 2)
= 36 / 6 (6)
= 6 (6)
= 36

I think the problem is people see 6(6) as a singular value, and don't see it as a multiplication operation. So 36 / 6 (6) is the same as 36 / 6 * 6

This

The way I looked at it anyway

They get 1 by
36/6(2+2+2)
36/6(6)
36/36
1

Like Nick said, they get hung up on the 6(6) being the next operation (because parentheses). They overlook that once they solve the parentheses equation that the next step then becomes multiplication/division from left to right.

It wasn't on my same page lol

They get 1 by
36/6(2+2+2)
36/6(6)
36/36
1

Exactly, it's how I did it the first time.

I had to learn most Algebra later in life. All that time teachers telling us we would never use it and damn if I didn't get a job where I had to know it.

I just did it how I thought to do it. when I saw that people were getting 1 it was pretty obvious how.
