Question

Nd the value of the expression. Type a numerical answer in the space provided. 4 ∙ 1 - 3^2 ÷ 3

Answer 1

This is a problem of Arithmetic that is a branch of mathematics that consists of the study of numbers. Its main goal is the study of the traditional operations on them just as: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. There is an order of operation to solve problems in arithmetic that is the way you choose to simplify expressions. This order is like this:

1. First. Solve Parentheses.
2. Second. Solve Exponents (and root).
3. Third. Solve Multiplication and Division
3. Fourth. Solve addition and subtraction.  

So let's apply these concepts to our problem:

$4 \times 1-3^2 \div 3$

We don't have parentheses, so let's apply second step:

$4 \times 1-9 \div 3$

Applying third step:

$4-3$

Finally, applying fourth step, the result is:

$1$
