This Math Problem Will Make You Lose Your Mind

According to the man behind this YouTube account, Presh Talwalkar, people get one as the answer due to an old way of interpreting the division sign. "Historically the symbol / was used to mean you should divide by the entire product on the right of the symbol," he wrote in a blog post. So, if you got 1 as your answer, it's not right, but not your fault either for learning this method.

They say 9


.... if you use the new method.

Which is stupid because math doesn't change. People are too used to typing everything on keyboards and expecting to solve problems the same way.
Hey, that's 52 year old math I used........see, I'm still relevant. I'll bet Kanye couldn't get the correct answer.
