Were I writing this out I'd probably write 6÷2 as 6/2 with (1&2) next to it. I'd then distribute 6/2.

((6/2)*1) & ((6/2)*2)
(6/2) & (12/2)
(18/2)
9

I am obsessive with parenthesis, though. Programmer's trauma. This is a poorly written problem.The right answer is both  because the order of operations is arbitrary.

I could very easily be wrong. I'm no mathmagician
