You need to follow order of operations in this problem: PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction).

First, you solve the division, s your problem becomes:

3 + 3 + 1 (because 3/3 = 1)

Now, you just add:

3 + 3 + 1 = 7

Your answer is 7.

Hi!

The order of operations, or PEMDAS, states that you always do multiplication and division before addition and subtraction.

So in this case, you would do 3 / 3 before 3 + 3 + 3, because it's division and comes before addition.

3 + 3 + 3 / 3

Do the division first:

3 + 3 + 1

And then you get the answer of 7.

Hope this helps!
