Answer:
The most common mistake is writing the 1/3 as:
9 – 3 ÷ 1/3 + 1
Most calculators will not group the 1/3, so the calculator evaluates:
9 – 3/1/3 + 1
= 9 – 3/3 + 1
= 9 – 1 + 1
= 9
The correct answer is found by grouping 1/3 with parentheses and following the order of operations, with division taking precedence.
9 – 3 ÷ (1/3) + 1
= 9 – 9 + 1
= 0 + 1
= 1
The correct answer is 1.
