To solve this problem, we need to refer to the order of operations, outlined by PEMDAS. This tells us that we compute parentheses first, then exponents, then multiplication and division, and finally addition and subtraction.

6/2(1+2)

Using PEMDAS, we know that we should perform what is inside the parenthesis first.

6/2(1+2) = 6/2(3)

Next, because there are no exponents, we should simplify any multiplication in this expression.

6/2(3) = 6/6

Finally, we can simplify the final division problem we are left with.

6/6 = 1

Therefore, your answer is 1.

Hope this helps!
