There is a simple way to solve this. PMDAS

You have to solve it from the left -> to the right

Parentheses

Multiplication(but if division comes first, then you divide)

Divide(but if multiplication comes first, then you multiply)

Add(if subtraction comes first, then you subtract)

Subtract(if addition comes first, then you add)

3*(9-8)* ÷ (42-11)

3 x 1 ÷ *(42-11)*

*3 x 1* ÷ 31

*3 ÷ 31*

.0967

3(9-8) / (42-11)

27-24 / 42-11

3/31 is answer

order of operations; PEMDAS, is a good acronym for it. Parenthesis/exponent -> Multiplication/Division -> Addition/Subtraction

so...

distribute the 3..

(27-24) / (42-11)

next do the paranthesis

(3)/(31)

Now just divide, or leave as a fraction...

3/31 or .096774

You can simplify it like this :

3*1/31 = 3/31

The first answer is correct.

yeah that first answers right

i wish my math was this easy =/
