6 divided by 2(1 + 2)=? Maybe 1 in 10 People Can Solve This Math Problem-Are You One of Them?

This video explains how to solve the mathematical problem 6 ÷ 2 (1 + 2) using two different order of operations rules: BODMAS (also referred to as B MAS in the video) and PEMDAS (0:13).

Here's a breakdown of the video's explanation:

BODMAS/B MAS Rule (0:24):
B - Brackets (0:34)
O - Of (0:38)
D - Division (0:39)
M - Multiplication (0:42)
A - Addition (0:44)
S - Subtraction (0:45)
Following this rule, the problem is solved by first calculating the bracket (1+2 = 3), then multiplying 2 by 3 (which is 6), and finally dividing 6 by 6, resulting in 1 (0:52-1:17). This method is stated to be commonly used in Africa, Asia, and other continents (3:18-3:21).

PEMDAS Rule (1:31):
P - Parenthesis (Brackets) (1:44)
E - Exponents (1:47)
M - Multiplication (1:53)
D - Division (1:56)
A - Addition (1:58)
S - Subtraction (2:03)
Using this rule, the video emphasizes starting from left to right when multiplication and division are present (2:40-2:42). After calculating the bracket (1+2 = 3), the division (6 ÷ 2 = 3) is performed first, followed by the multiplication (3 × 3), which results in 9 (2:42-3:04). This method is mostly used in America (3:15-3:18).

The video highlights the difference in answers (1 vs. 9) depending on which rule is applied (3:07-3:13).
