Division and multiplication are on the same order of operations, so after you solve the equation in the brackets you can just do the sum from left to right. 6/2 *3 = 9.
At least that's what I remember from school
Where people get confused is that they believe that multiplication should be done before division or vice versa, usually because of the acronym they used to memorize the order of operations. Or they try expand the brackets. Or they see everything to the right of the division sign as part of the denominator. Or they grew up in the 80s when calculators were programmed incorrectly because of something called implied multiplication. (I'm not sure about the calculator one, I wasn't alive back then).
It's an easy mistake to make, I've added what I think are the main reasons people get it wrong. I'm definitely guilty of seeing everything to the right of a division sign as part of the denominator of a fraction of I don't focus.
my confusion is more of a notation one here, like i know the order but you could read this as 6 divided by 2 times 1 plus 2 so 6/2*3 and then 1 , if they just used they fraction symbol this wouldn't be so confusing

Please Excuse My Dreadful Ass Smell
PLEASE EXCUSE MY DEAR AUNT SALLY
Damn, I have a math degree and I still got this question wrong
It’s common convention in mathematics to do implied multiplication before explicit ones… but this question is a troll so let’s not get trolled
It's 9?

You're too modest! You got it right. 2 correct answers. It’s also 1 which is what I got. The problem is in the way it's written.

Same here! BEDMAS babyyyy

umm actually it's BODMAS
Yeah that's the one I learnt. But I think there's another one called PEMDAS or something
I remember a different mnemonic from school but used PEMDAS
