    It actually depends on what you were taught.
    My teachers taught me that you multiply first, and then divide.
    But I've met people who say that you multiply and divide in the order of left to right.

    2 + 1 = 3
    6 / 2 = 3
    3 * 3 = 9

    PEMDAS.

    Multiply and divide left to right. That's what I was taught.

    What Aub said.
    6÷2(2+1) can be opened to 6÷2*3, hence the answer is 9

    Stuff in parenthesis goes first.
    Then divisions/multiplications(done at the same time), then adding and subtracting.

    When does algebra come?
    Oh, and division/multiplications come like this:
    5*4÷2
    =20÷2
    =10

    Left to right
