    Sorry guys I gotta say 1. It's the way my calculator thinks and it's the way I think. If it were 6:2 * (2+1) on the otherhand I'd say 9.

    Because if the question was

    6:2a
    where a = 2 + 1

    I would take that as 6/(2a) rather than (6/2)a


    Now that i think about it

    I DONT KNOW

    Maybe its confusing to me because 2(2+1) looks like a function called 2 with input parameter 2 + 1

    In fact screw it nothing says this is a math question and not a computer science question, for all i know it's terribly written pseudocode where someone decided to use 2 as a function name

    So there is no answer unless someone gives me the subroutine for 2(float x) and if the subroutine for 2 was

    return (x*2);

    then my answer would be 1.
