Question

Evaluate:9 - 3 div (1/3) + 1

Answer 1

The question to solve is:

`9-3/(1)/(3)+1`

We follow the order of operations, PEMDAS, to evalute this arithmetic.

P - Parenthesis

E - Exponents

M - Multiplication

D - Division

A - Addition

S - Subtraction

This is the order we follow.

Looking at our question, we have to do the division first:

3 divided by 1/3rd

division by a fraction is same as multiplication by reciprocal

So,

`(3)/((1)/(3))=3*(3)/(1)=(9)/(1)=9`

Now, the problem becomes:

`9-9+1`

We simply add/subtract and get our answer:
