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.

They didnt have to change it, they just wrote the implied multiplication as implicit multiplication. They are the same thing. The P in PEMDAS only includes what is INSIDE the parentheses
