The handy order of operations rule you learned in grade school, PEMDAS, says you should solve a problem by working through the Parentheses, then the Exponents, the Multiplication and Division, followed by Addition and Subtraction. But the thing about PEMDAS is, some people interpret it different ways and in there lies the controversy behind this problem.
Some people think that anything touching a parentheses should be solved FIRST. Which means they simplify the problem as follows: 6÷2(1+2) = 6÷ 2(3) = 6÷6 = 1.
But just because a number is touching a parentheses doesn't mean it should be multiplied before division that's to the left of it. PEMDAS says to solve anything inside parentheses, then exponents, and then all multiplication and division from left to right in the order both operations appear (that's the key). That means that once you solve everything inside the parenthesis and simplify the exponents, you go from left to right no matter what. That means the problem should actually be solved as follows: 6÷2(1+2) = 6÷2*(1+2) = 6÷2*3 = 3*3 = 9.

A bat and a ball cost one dollar and ten cents in total. The bat costs a dollar more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?
Was your answer 10 cents? That would be wrong!
The Answer: The ball costs 5 cents.
Explanation: When you read the math problem, you probably saw that the bat and the ball cost a dollar and ten cents in total and when you processed the new information that the bat is a dollar more than the ball, your brain jumped to the conclusion that the ball was ten cents without actually doing the math. But the mistake there is that when you actually do the math, the difference between $1 and 10 cents is 90 cents, not $1. If you take a moment to actually do the math, the only way for the bat to be a dollar more than the ball AND the total cost to equal $1.10 is for the baseball bat to cost $1.05 and the ball to cost 5 cents.

In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day, the patch doubles in size. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take for the patch to cover half of the lake?
The tempting answer here is 24, but you're wrong if that's your final answer!
The Answer: The patch would reach half the size of the lake on day 47.
Explanation: With all the talk of doubling and halves, your brain jumps to the conclusion that to solve the problem of when the lily patch covers half the lake, all you have to do is divide the number of days it took to fill the lake (48) in half. It's understandable but wrong.
The problem says that the patch DOUBLES in size every day, which means that on any day, the lily patch was half the size the day before. So if the patch reaches the entire size of the lake on the 48th day, it means the lily pad was half the size of the lake on day 47.
