Math Problem Statement

9 - 3 ÷ 1/3 + 1 = ?

Solution

The mathematical expression in the image is:

93÷13+1=?9 - 3 \div \frac{1}{3} + 1 = ?

Steps to solve:

  1. Apply the order of operations (PEMDAS): Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

  2. Division first:

3÷13=3×3=93 \div \frac{1}{3} = 3 \times 3 = 9

This is because dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.

  1. Substitute the result back into the equation:

99+19 - 9 + 1

  1. Perform subtraction and addition:

0+1=10 + 1 = 1

Thus, the final result is:

1\boxed{1}
