Depends. For what purpose is this being done, for who, and whether or not / =
6 - ( 1 * 0 ) + 2
_________
2
= 4
or
6 - ( 1 * 0 ) + ( 2 / 2 ) = 7
The first one avoids PEMDAS, while the second one does not.

Why would it avoid PEMDAS? That's kinda the correct way to solve something like this.Originally Posted by happyhobo2000

If the division symbol was suppose to indicate a fraction bar such as in that first one, everything before it would have been in brackets to show that the whole thing was being divided by 2. The second way you did it was the correct way and the correct answer.
