Multiplication and division are commutative.

6 / 2 * 3 = 6 * 3 / 2

For the image, the "answer is undefined" is more correct,

and even more correct is:

"depends on whether you interpret the text as

6 / (2 * (1 + 2))

or interpret it as

6 / 2 * (1 + 2)

or interpret it as garbage."

division is commutative

1 divided by 2 is the same as 2 divided by 1

Commutative operations are interpreted left to right, saying it's undefined is just as wrong as saying the answer is 1; the answer is 9 and there's no way around it.

Of course, this would be boring, except is it sort-of indicative of many paradoxes, political divides, oxford commas, and such.

No. They are weighted equally and done left to right. Did you drop out of elementary school?
