    would you say the same thing if the division was written out like a line under 2(3) and under that 6
    idk how this’ll come out but something like this:
    2(1+2)
    -----------
    6

    edit : wow i did a formatting thing

      In that case, I’d say the answer is 1. Top and bottom are each resolved to the fullest extent possible before dividing top by bottom. It’s equivalent to (top)÷(bottom), but it’s clearer and preferable if you can easily format that way in my opinion, just harder on a computer.
