First off, we must follow PEMDAS

Parenthesis
Exponentials
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

Therefore, we start out with the parenthesis

6÷2(2+1)

(2+1) = 3

6÷2(3)

Then multiplication

2(3) = 6

6÷6

Then division

1


Simple as that lol.
multiplication AND division from left to right. 9
