    If you’re a weirdo who does prefer to divide first then it’s 9.

    The way I was taught the order of operations (BEDMAS: Brackets Exponents Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction) makes me divide first :kitty-cri:

      I was taught that division/multiplication were the same step and you do them left to right. But I also never saw that dividing symbol again after 8th grade

      I learned BEMDAS in school, so I always multiplied first, but also I would just do this wrong anyway by counting multiplying as brackets
