abdullahm · Answer

When we use PEMDAS or BODMAS

We need to do the multiplication or division first, from left to right before we do the addition or subtraction from left to right

9 - 3/(1/3) +1 = 

9 - 9 + 1 = 

0 + 1 =

1

yep!

mathmale · Answer

I view this differently.  9 - 3/(1/3) +1 can be re-written as 9 - (3/3) + 1 = 9.  End.

abdullahm · Answer

Mathmale, I have one issue with your reply.

How does 3/(1/3) = 3/3?

3/(1/3) = 3 * 3/1 = 9

Clearly, 3/(1/3) cannot be 3/3
