Going from left to right this would be read as: [(9-3) ÷⅓]+1. Thus [(9-3) ÷⅓]+1 = [6÷⅓] + 1 = [6 * 3] + 1 = 18 + 1 = 19.
However, using the rule of PEMDAS (or BODMAS), this would actually be read as 9 - [(3÷⅓) + 1] = 9 - [(3 * 3) + 1] = 9 - 9 + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1.
1 is actually the correct answer, meaning that I have just been PLAYED.
Great work!
If we are using the PEMDAS isn’t the answer -1
9-9+1 = 9-10 = -1
I’m not sure about answer, but we were tought in scool that first u do that operations in brackets, then multiplication and division and then u just get back to the start and solve it from left to right:
9 - 3 / 1/3 + 1 = 9 - 3 * 3 + 1 = 9 - 9 + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1
