Arithmetic Expression Evaluation

Let's solve this viral math problem. We need to evaluate six divided by two, times the quantity one plus two, following the correct order of operations.

We follow the PEMDAS rule, which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, and finally Addition and Subtraction from left to right.

The first step is to handle the parentheses. Inside the parentheses, we have one plus two, which equals three.

Now we are left with division and multiplication. A common mistake is to multiply before dividing, but the rule states we must perform these operations from left to right as they appear.
