Okay, so seems that the debate on this is a generational thing. The meme is backwards because it's the grey-haired guy who should be saying 1, not the younger women.

Basically, if you were taught older conventions like I was (being an old fart), you would divide the 6 by the product of everything to the right of the division, because you would treat the ÷ as a /, and treat the product as a denominator.

We used to treat ÷ as an easier way to write out a fraction problem, but that is no longer.
