This tiny equation is easy to underestimate because every number is the same.
The expression is:
1 + 1 ÷ 1 + 1
Division must be completed before addition, so start with:
1 ÷ 1 = 1
The expression then becomes:
1 + 1 + 1
That gives:
3
So the correct answer is 3.
Because all the numbers are 1, people sometimes rush and assume the result must also be 1. But the order of operations still applies exactly the same way as it would with larger numbers.
Answer: 3.
Short puzzles like this are often trickier than longer ones because they encourage you to answer before checking the rules.
