Well, it depends.
If you're multiplying (6/2) by (1+2), then you get 9.
If it's 6 divided by (2(1+2)), then it's 1.
The way you wrote it is rather ambiguous, so it could be either or.

6/2(1+2) 6/2(3) 3(3) 9 Remember, left to right.

Ok, so it was the first way I said. Cool. The way you wrote the equation down made it seem like you multiplied 2 by (1+2), but no biggie.
