I was always taught BODMAS, which puts division ahead of multiplication. Thats why I have the 6/2 and (1+2) as separate equations.

Edit: And as storymilo says, multiplication and division are grouped. So the only way oojay's way works is if he adds another set of parenthesis around the 2*(1+2), which would make the 6.
