Can you solve this pesky little problem while also giving damning evidence that the other 2 can not possibly work? 
YOU MUST CHOOSE ONE AND ONLY ONE!
Calculations:
6÷2(1+2) =
6÷2(3) =
3*3 =
9
6÷2(1+2) =
6÷2(3) =
6÷6 =
1
6÷2(1+2) =
6÷2+4 =
3+4 =
7
ADDED: Those calculations are simply thought processes for each possible answer. I am aware that there may or may not be something missing that could help clarify, but I am leaving it up to you to figure it out.  |
My Answer is nine, using the order of operations:
1: Perform any calculations inside parentheses.
2: Perform all multiplications and divisions, working from left to right.
3: Perform all additions and subtractions, working from left to right.
And since parentheses means multiplication it is done after the division.
