In real life, it's usually best to reason about intent rather than to blindly solve problems and proclaim your superiority.
The entire point of these (countless) threads is to see who can solve order of operations correctly. Sitting down and thinking through our feelings isn't what its about.
I, like everyone else, am beginning to tire of these threads.

Kork's Problem-Solving Service is available at a rate of:

Very affordable. Or very expensive if you do not understand order of operations.

You are wrong. Look it up.

rounded to 3 decimal points, I got .991
Order of operation is always division/mult first add/subt next regardless of parenthesis

The whole internet thinks you are wrong. Please google 9-3/1/3+1 and see what comes up

The answer for that is 9. No Google needed.

What's worse
Not being able to see the correct answer to this equation or bitching all day at people for not finding the correct answer?

3 divided by 1/3 is not 1.
That's not what's written though. What is written is 3 divided by 1 divided by 3, which most certainly equals 1.
Lil lunch pail was wrong, but acting like he was the only smart one in the thread. Per usual.
3 divided by one third, not 3 divided by 1 divided by 3 like you were claiming.

OP put those spaces and I took that to mean it was 3 divided by one third, but lunch pail said he was right and everyone else was wrong for interpreting something else because there was only one way to interpret it.
He was wrong. It's 3 divided by one third.
He told everyone they were stupid when they said it was a shittily written problem all while he was misinterpreting it because it was shittily written.

nope
wrong
You clearly had (and still have) a misunderstanding of the basic logic and syntax necessary for the problem. If you can't see that then that's a you issue.

I took it to be his attempt to show it was one third, which ended up being correct. Meaning it was shittily written and to act like one opinion is the be all end all would be retarded.
My whole point is that it was shittily written and to act like there wouldn't be multiple interpretations is stupid. Especially when the interpretation he made was wrong.
