There is also a ÷, hence the poor structure. You can't honestly be this stupid.

, you can't be serious. 9 is the answer to the problem in the OP. 1 is the answer to the problem you posted in that picture. They're not the same problem.

I can, because the problem is written like shite.

If you make assumptions, sure.

They can be, we'll never know for sure because it is poorly written to make these arguments happen. You know this problem is made to make people argue, yet you are so adamant there is nothing wrong with it. That's just hilariously ignorant.

Says the guy that isn't even solving what is supposed to be solved due to his assumption.

Ah jeez not this shite again. Just like last month when this thread appeared, the question is whether or not the two symbols ÷ and / mean the same thing, and if they do, why were they both used. The person behind it can say whatever they want, so there's no answer, and there's both answers. All hail.

There are ways to write the problem and get the answer of 1, and there are ways to write the problem to get the answer of 9. The reason people argue is because they assume something that isn't there. They assume 1/3 is (1/3), but that's not what was written. If the OP posted the picture you shared, everyone would say 1 (hopefully). If the OP wrote 9 – 3 ÷ (1/3) + 1, which is the way to write the problem you posted and adjust for the syntax issue, everyone would say 1.
The problem written in the OP is NOT the problem in the picture. If you take it for precisely what it is, the answer is 9, plain and simple. To come up with another answer from the OP requires you to assume something that isn't written.

And then there are unclear ways meant to confuse and would never be written in any setting other than a place to cause arguments.

You assume that. Go click the link under that pic, guess what you see written out right under it.
ETA: I really don't see how you can't admit that it's poorly written.

9 – 3 ÷ 1/3 + 1 does not equal

It's poorly written if it's an attempt to rewrite the question in the picture you posted.
On it's own, it has one answer, and that answer is 9. If you're trying to rewrite the problem in the picture, you write 9 – 3 ÷ (1/3) + 1 .

It's poorly written regardless.

9 – 3 ÷ 1/3 + 1 =/= 9 – 3 ÷ (1/3) + 1
Agreed?

BTW, you have a funny way of showing something isn't worth arguing by arguing about it for several pages.
