You're now watching two strangers discuss your question! Question to discuss: 6รท2(1+2) = (most people fail this question) Stranger 1: u fucker Stranger 2: 9 Stranger 1: it isnt layed out properly Stranger 1: it could be two answers at once Stranger 2: (1+2) Stranger 2: 3 Stranger 2: 6/2 Stranger 2: 3 Stranger 2: 3*3 Stranger 2: 9 Stranger 1: but Stranger 1: is it Stranger 1: (6/2)x(1+2) Stranger 1: or Stranger 1: 6/2(1+2) Stranger 2: either way it results in 9 Stranger 1: lol Stranger 1: u sure Stranger 1: 6/2(3)=6/6=1 Stranger 2: if people cant get that right they have a problem. Stranger 1: and as i said Stranger 1: the question isnt layed out properly Stranger 1: it could be two answers Stranger 2: the way you layed it out you would do,,, Stranger 2: 6/2 Stranger 2: 3 Stranger 2: than the 1+2 Stranger 1: no no no Stranger 2: 3 Stranger 1: numerator = 6 Stranger 1: denominator=2(1+2) Stranger 1: then u get 1 Stranger 1: write it out Stranger 2: its simple math. (/) is a different way to say division. not a fraction Stranger 1: ... Stranger 1: write it out Stranger 1: numerator = 6 Stranger 2: the equation as it is written is 9 Stranger 1: denominator = 2(1+2) Stranger 1: not really Stranger 1: its vague Stranger 2: math is vague. that's the worst part of it. Stranger 1: no Stranger 1: maths makes perfect sense Stranger 1: the same way english language has grammar Stranger 1: you need to write out equations properly Stranger 2: its like science every rule is contradicted by another until you have the building blocks of modern science. Stranger 1: wtf Stranger 1: every rule is contradicted by another? Stranger 1: are you a creationist? Stranger 2: yeah. contradicted or "built" upon by another rule. Stranger 2: think of the early ideas for the atom. Stranger 1: contradict isnt the same as built upon Stranger 2: it started to be thought of as a cloud. Stranger 1: i know what u mean Stranger 1: but contradict isnt the same as built upon Stranger 2: then they added to it saying that is was a cloud with solid partials mixed in. Stranger 1: yeah i know what u mean Stranger 1: it doesnt mean it is contradicting Stranger 2: then it was no longer a cloud but a tangible object. Stranger 2: they contrast well stating the old rule was still right. Stranger 2: so they kind of contradict.... Stranger 1: i looked it uo Stranger 1: contradict means to deny the truth of (a statement) by asserting the opposite. Stranger 2: going from a cloud to a solid mass is not contradicting? Stranger 1: no Stranger 1: im not quite sure you get what contradicting mean Stranger 1: means* Stranger 2: oh. well they said an atom was a cloud with no mass. then they said it was a solid object with mass, Stranger 2: that sounds like a contradiction to me. Stranger 1: hmmm Stranger 1: i mean Stranger 1: you dont understand the word contradiction itself Stranger 2: but that is the only example I can think of so I might be totally off Stranger 1: i know what you are trying to say Stranger 1: i just dont think you know what contradiction means Stranger 2: to deny something by stating the opposite... Stranger 2: no mass.... to mass... Stranger 1: hmmm. Stranger 2: but I could be wrong. I am just going off your definition you typed
