The PEMDAS rule (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction) establishes the correct order for solving mathematical expressions, where multiplication and division have equal priority and must be solved from left to right, as demonstrated by the example 6 ÷ (3/2) = 8, where the correct approach is to first convert the division to multiplication using the KCF rule (Keep, Change, Flip), then solve left to right.

Added:So, most people solve this question like cancel this two by two, right?
So, now 6 / 3. So, 6 / 3 = 2.
Right?
But, this answer is not correct. This answer is completely wrong.
So, now let's solve this problem correctly by using a PEMDAS rule, right?
So, PEMDAS P E M D A S According to PEMDAS rule, first priority is parentheses.
And second priority is exponents.
And third priority is multiplication and division.
Here multiplication and division both have equal priority.
So, we have to solve it from left to right.
Then fourth and last priority is addition and subtraction.
Also, addition and subtraction both have equal priority.
So, we have to solve it from left to right.
So, in this question here we have division, here multiplication.
And both have equal priority. So, we have to solve it from left to right.
So, first we have to solve this division, right?
So, now 6 Now, according to KCF rule K means keep this first six as it is same.
And C means change this sign from division to multiplication. Then F means keep this fraction 3 / 2 is equal to 2 / 3 times 2, right?
Now cancel this six by three.
So, two Now, two times two is equal to four.
So, four times two So, now four times two is equal to eight, right?
So, the correct answer is 8.
