<p>No. The answer is 1.
6÷2*(1+2)=9.
6÷2(1+2)=1.
The Distributive Property clearly shows that the 2(1+2) part is treated as a whole. So it is actually 6/(2(1+2))</p>
<p>I think whoever comes up with this problem is a smart@ss who gets satisfaction for coming up with weirdo questions. The question should have been clarified to 6÷2*(1+2)=1. Most of the smart people would not get it without knowing the math rule. If you really want a challenging problem which really makes you think, you should check this problem out! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-confidential-cafe/1139611-logical-problem.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-confidential-cafe/1139611-logical-problem.html</a></p>
