I assume 1/3 is a fraction because the division sign was used for division.

These retards are dividing 3 by 0.33333 to get 9-9+1=1

You said 1 so no, you're wrong.

That's a retarded assumption. If it were a fraction, they'd put in parenthesis to clarify.

If you rightfully assume that there are implied parenthesis around the 1/3 then the answer is 1.


So if you make your own rules as you go the answer is 1

If you are a pedantic a-hole regarding PEMDAS then the answer is 9.



If you actually understand math the answer is 9

You're making quite an assumption. Math isn't subjective.... There are rules and shite.

And anyone saying 9 isn’t following logic or rules. If there’s a divisor in there (like there is) then you assume 1/3 is a fraction. This problem is written perfectly fine and the lawyers and operators are just having issues with basic math

You may want to revise this to algebra. There are plenty of implication in mathematics.

Those parenthesis clarify the order of operations.

This.

The (3/ 1/3)
Is either 1 or 9
That value changes the final answer to the inverse of the answer of the implied equation, it's a smart math trick.
