The two equations are different. The order is not the same when writing the multiplication sign and when omitting it. When omitted, it takes precedence.
Hmm interesting. I’ve never heard that omitting the multiplication sign affects the order of operations. It could be that it’s taught differently in different places. I’d probably interpret a/bc as (a/b)*c, though I’d be a bit confused seeing it written without parentheses.

6÷2×(2+1) ≠ 6÷2(2+1).
Imagine it like a÷bc versus a÷b×c.
The variable “a” is a single term and “bc” is a single term too. “bc” is the same as (b)© but not the same as b×c when speaking of operations order.
