yes because we were taught PEMDAS but 90% of us remembered it wrong, a lot think that multiply comes before division and addition before subtraction but it’s multiply OR divide (whichever comes first) and so on
I was taught whatever is in () first then multiply divide, then addition subtraction. [()] [X,/] [+,-] There was no hiarchy between multiplication and division or addition or subtraction.
, so distribute the two 2(1+2) = (2x1) + (2x2) or 2+4=6 or solve and distribute 2x3=6 and 6/6 =1
Mainly because this is a fuckin stupid article
To Millenials the answer is 1 and to Zs the answer is 9. Aren't numbers wild when put in confusing math problems.
The people bitching about postmodernism should poiint to this neoliberal clickbait BS.
I liked the revolutionary economic BS one.
Maybe all us nerds are celebrating pi day for a week because we don't drink.

i have no idea tbh, i’m gen z so i’ve seen a lot of people my age make that mistake and remember PEMDAS incorrectly
Oh same, I thought you were saying millennials are the ones misremembering PEMDAS because they haven't been in school in like 20 years.

I've never heard of "pemdas."
Wait how is it not 9 following in that case? Following what you described I don't see how you could get 1
Starting equation: 6 ÷ 2(1+2)
Step 1, parenthesis first: 6 ÷ 2(3)
Step 2, division, because it comes first: 3(3)
Step 3, multiplication: 9
If you assume multiplication should always comes before division then you get 1: 6 ÷ 2(3) = 6 ÷ 6
