If that is your intention it should be written as
9- {3/(1/3)}+1=1
This takes care of it as well
9 - 3 ÷ 1/3 + 1

Geez. You frickers write shite out so piss poor.
There are a few different answers if you start throwing brackets in places that they don't appear initially.
If it is
9 minus 3 divided by 1 divided by 3 plus 1, the answer is 9.

These aren't gotchas. They are just written shitty.
The problem, as it is written in the OP, would solve as 9.
If his intention is for it to be 9-3/(1/3)+1, the answer would be 1.
I assume it is the latter, and he just can't transcribe it properly.

3 divided by 1/3 equals 9
9 minus 9 equals 0
0 plus 1 equals 1
3 divided by 1/3 equals 9
9 minus 9 equals 0
0 plus 1 equals 1

How did you know to multiply?
Division is multiplication of the reciprocal. Any second grader can tell you that.

whenever you divide a number by a fraction you can also multiply that number by the reciprocal of the fraction. therefore 3/ 1/3 is the same as 3*3.

By adding the parenthesis you changed the problem... which changed the outcome...
As it is originally written, you subract the 3 from 9 before you divide by 1/3rd...

Nah, spaces don't mean anything in this problem.
9-3 = 9 - 3
3 / 1 = 3/1
1/3 = 1 / 3
It's all the same regardless of the spacing.

It's 1...
9-(3/ 1/3)+1
9-(3*3) +1 (When a fraction is in the denominator, you multiply by the reciprocal)
9-9+1
0+1
1
9-(3/ 1/3)+1
9-(3*3) +1 (When a fraction is in the denominator, you multiply by the reciprocal)
9-9+1
0+1
