Why do people think 6 2 1 2 is 1? ›

People who get 1 believe that you have to work out all of the brackets stuff first. So you do '1 + 2' and the sum simplifies to '6 ÷ 2(3)'. You then still have brackets so you have to do '2 x 3' before continuing on. This gives you '6 ÷ 6' which equals 1.

As,bracket's priority is first. So,1+3=4. then, for multiplication and division we will go from left to right associativity. So,first we will do the division operation then we will multiply, So the answer will be 6/2=3 and then 3*4=12.

There is no universally accepted rule as there are several: PEMDAS, BEDMAS, PE(MD)AS. It is not possible to say what is correct and what is incorrect. There are different rules, leading to different results. The expression is not well defined.

These acronyms differ based on where they are used. For example, PEMDAS is commonly used by mathematicians in the US, while BODMAS and BIDMAS are commonly used in the UK. Canada and New Zealand often use BEDMAS.

PEMDAS is an acronym for the words parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. Given two or more operations in a single expression, the order of the letters in PEMDAS tells you what to calculate first, second, third and so on, until the calculation is complete.

Michael Angier (2005) [26] defines synergy as the phenomenon of two or more people getting along and benefiting one another, i.e., the combination of energies, resources, talents and efforts equal more than the sum of the parts. It is possible to describe this phenomenon by the expression 1 + 1 = 3.

The order of operations can be remembered by the acronym PEMDAS, which stands for: parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division from left to right, and addition and subtraction from left to right. First, start with parentheses.

The current standard has not changed, and math classes and real-life situations still widely use and teach it. It is suggested to keep using PEMDAS as the order of operations in math because it has been used for a long time and is widely accepted.

Some would calculate working right to left as 6 divided by (2*3) = 1. In fact, some automated routines / computer programs might do that, Others would go left to right, which is the correct way, to calculate (6/2) times 3 = 9.

1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of unit length is a line segment of length 1.

What is the largest fraction? ›

7/8 is the largest fraction.

Since denominator and numerator have a difference of 1, the fraction with the largest numerator is the largest function.

The Bodmas rule follows the order of the BODMAS acronym ie B – Brackets, O – Order of powers or roots, D – Division, M – Multiplication A – Addition, and S – Subtraction. Mathematical expressions with multiple operators need to be solved from left to right in the order of BODMAS.

PEMDAS stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (same level), and Addition and Subtraction (same level). By following these steps, you can simplify and accurately solve mathematical expressions, ensuring a correct final answer.

So, in the equation 2+2×2, the multiplication should be done first, because it is higher in the order of operations than the addition. Therefore, 2+2×2 is actually equal to 2+4, which is equal to 6.
