Question

How do you evaluate `3.3\div 3`?

Answer 1

1.1

Explanation:

`3.3÷3`, this can be rewritten as,

`3.3/3 = (33 * .1)/3 = (3*11 * .1)/3`

Now we can solve:

`(cancel3*11 * .1)/cancel3 = (11*.1)/(1) = 11*.1 = 1.1`

Answer 2

`" either " 1.1" or " 3`

Explanation:

The answer will be dependant on what the expression means.

`"If you mean " 3xx3÷3`

Evaluating from left to right gives.

`3xx3÷3=9÷3=3`

`" If you mean " 3.3÷3=3.3/3`

divide numerator/denominator by 3

`3.3/3=1.1/1=1.1`
