First, simplify Parenthesis
9 ÷ 3( 6 × 4 ÷ 8 )
= 9 ÷ 3(24 ÷ 8)
= 9 ÷ 3(3)
Now, apply multiplication and division left to right.
= 3(3)
= 9

Thamsanqa say: According to the BODMAS rule, the brackets are ALWAYS evaluated first. And division is ALWAYS evaluated first before any other arithmetic sign, followed by multiplication, then addition and lastly subtraction. Following this, 4/8 = 0.5 * 6 = 3. Now you left with, 9/3 (3). Again evaluate brackets, so 3 (3) = 9 (denominator). 9 (numerator) / 9 (denominator) = 1.

Erin say: Ha ha. You have different answers for your problem. I see 1 and 9 are what others are saying. So, which one is it?
Let's work this out one step at a time. First thing's first: PEMDAS. So we start with what is inside the parantheses: 6x4=24. Now we divide that by 8. 24÷8=3. Now we have 9÷3x3. 9 divided by 3 is 3, then 3 times 3 is 9.
So the correct answer is 9.

Sandy say: 9.
do what's in the parentheses first. 6 x 4 =24 divided by 8 = 3. outside the parentheses is 9 divided by 3 = 3. so 3 times 3 = 9 for final answer.
