I thought division had the same priority in the order of operations haha, math never really was my thing unless its dollars and cents.

you have to use order of operations
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication/Division
Addition/Subtraction
Therefore
6/2(1+2) = 6/2(3)
Now we're left with multiplications and divisions which have the same priority, so we solve from left to right
6/2 = 3
3 * 3 = 9

Nope, after solving the parenthesis all of them have the same priority therefore it ends up
6/2*3
then we solve from left to right, because division and multiplication have the same priority, therefore it is 9

Say you had a / b(c)
How did you suddenly get a/b * c when it should have been 'a / bc' ?

The answer is surely 1.
First of all you need to open the bracket. Basic BODMASS rule applies here.
6/2(1+2)
6/2+4
6/6
Answer =1
Remember 2(1+2) is one part and therefore (1+2) needs to get multiplied by 2 instead of adding 1+2 and then multiplying it with the remainder of 6/2
