Default 6/2*(1+2)=?

I've seen some debate about what the answer is to this, and its a chance for all of you to flex your mathematics muscles. Is the answer 9 or is it 1?

Getting 9 is a case of doing 6/2=3 * 1+2=3 therefore 3*3=9.

Getting 1 is a case of doing 2*(1+2)=6 and it becoming 6/6=1.

I say the answer is 9. Which would you say is right, and why? GO!!!
