Whenever you divide...flip the denominator and multiply by numerator...start with that.

1*[(1-3)/1] = (1-3)
1-(1-3)= do parenthesis first 1-(-2)=3 <---answer to the denominator

Numerator : 1+(1)=2

so answer = 2/3

is that the right answer?

Answer: (D) 2 1/3

Answer: (D) 2 1/3

I also get 2/3 but it doesn't match any of the answers..

The answer to this question really depends on the exact formating of the question. If you put the parenthesis in the wrong place, then we wont be able to solve the problem for you. Can you write out the problem exactly as written in the book?

either you typed the question wrong or the correct answer isn't posted.

i also got 4/3 .....

1+ ( 1 )
_______ =
(1-(1/1-3))

1+ ( 1 )
_______ =
(1-(1/-2))

1+ ( 1 )
_______ =
(3/2)

2
_______ =
(3/2)

4/3= 1 1/3

you won't see this on the DAT. Too hard

Yeah I got the same answer. Tissy could you elaborate any further on the question?

Let me try to type it again....

1 + [1/((1)-(1/1-3))]

 

[tinman831]

Let me try to type it again....

1 + [1/((1)-(1/1-3))]

The way you wrote it, you would have to divide the 1/1 first which doesn't make sense. Also why is there parenthesis around that single 1?

 

[Blando]

i had 4/3 the first way, and after you wrote it like that, i got 5/3, did anyone else try it the second way?

 

[Yeyyy]

i had 4/3 the first way, and after you wrote it like that, i got 5/3, did anyone else try it the second way?

with the parentheses the way they are, you should be getting 2/3

(1/1-3) = -2

 

[joonkimdds]

Let me try to type it again....

1 + [1/((1)-(1/1-3))]

either the problem has wrong answer key or the way you wrote the problem is wrong.
