Edit - now I'm second guessing myself and thinking 9. I guess that's cheating ...
9 - (3 div 1/3) +1
= 9 - 9 + 1 = 1
Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally
The kicker is the dividing by a fraction. Makes you wanna convert to decimals ...

The trick is to multiply by the reciprocal (and do that first). My 7th grader says answer = 1.
No.. answer is 9. PEMDAS and left to right.
9-(3ÌÑ1/3)+1=9-1+1=8+1=9
No.. sorry.. small screen. I did it wrong.
9-(3ÌÑ3/1)+1=9-9+1=1

I'm sure glad that they're teaching this in 5th grade - look at us :whistle:
BODMAS order: brackets, of, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction.
There no brackets, and I can't remember if "of" means anything, so I'd say "1/3" is just another number, so:
3 divided by 1/3 = 9 then
9-9+1 = 1
?
We have reached the point where answering is futile. If you say anything other than 1, you will be ridiculed. If you say 1, you will be accused of cheating.
27/3 -27/3 + 3/3 = 3/3 or -1 times i squared

PEDMAS is better than BODMAS, so maybe I remembered it wrong (35 years ago, aka yesterday) and it should be BEDMAS.

I looked all over for that and could only find the "hint" I posted.
Of course, I really didn'the know what I was looking for. o.O

I certainly would have thought you, of all people, would have explained it this way:
Y'all have a great weekend! B-)
