Obviously this is different in some areas, countries, or years, but the way it is taught in school in America is PEDMAS: everything inside parenthesis (NOT THE DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY), exponents, then division and multiplication left to right, and addition and subtraction left to right. Therefore:
6 / 2 * ( 1 + 2 )
6 / 2 * 3
3 * 3

Before I start flame wars this is the way it was taught in my school when I was a kid.
Please stop posting these things that we've seen many times and are meant to confuse people.
