There are no brackets in either of those expressions.

They are called parenthesis.

And the correct answer is 9.

The parenthesis are 1st and it then becomes 6 / 2 * 3, which makes the correct answer 9, like you said.

For the answer to be 1, the original formula had to be like this: 6 / [2 (2+1)].

but the brackets were implied. Therefore, the only answer is 1.
