Don't forget that the 2 outside the brackets modifies what's inside the brackets. Because of the distributive principle, 6 / 2(1+2) is the same as 6 / (2+4). Although many people have gotten 9 as the answer, when correctly resolving the parentheses, you get the answer of 1.

Wrong, you first must calculate the sum that's inside the brackets.
6/2(1+2)
6/2(3)
6/2x3
3x3
9
