Question

1+1+1/3
There is two answers to this :)
Just wondering who has an open mind.

Answer 1

7/3 and 1 ?

Answer 2

naaah, not 1....for 1 , brackets are essential (1+1+1)/3

Answer 3

it has to be just 7/3 =2 1/3 mixed fraction

Answer 4

or as hartnn has pointed out

Answer 5

or do u mean 2 equivalent answers like 7/3 and \(2\frac{1}{3}\)

Answer 6

There no right or wrong since I didn't point out a method I'm just wondering what you all can come up with :)

Answer 7

\[1+1+1/3=1+1+\frac{1}{3}=2+\frac{1}{3} \]
Multiplication has precedence over addition.

Answer 8

There are not two possible interpretations.
An open mind would understand there is only one.

1+1+1/3 = 2 1/3
(1+1) + 1/3 = 2 1/3
(1+1+1)/3 = 1

Answer 9

Sorry. My bad.
Division has precedence over addition.

Answer 10

if we are allowed to put brackets anywhere,,
how about
(1+1+1)/3
1+ (1+1)/3
and
1+1 +(1/3)

Answer 11

1+1 =2
2+1/3
=(2(3) +1)/3
=(6+1)/3
=7/3
you can write this as mixed fraction as well
which is \[=2\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\]

Answer 12

Placing parentheses willy nilly can change the original expression's final form and the resulting expression's value.

1+1+1/3 = 2 and 1/3 or 7/3 and that's that.

Answer 13

1+1+1/3 is only equal to 2.333333333333334 and that's that. lol
