The worksheet provided involves solving mathematical expressions using the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction). Below is a detailed explanation of how each problem is solved step by step.

---

Problem 1: \( 21 \div 3 + (3 \times 9) \times 9 + 5 \)



1. Step 1: Parentheses
\[
(3 \times 9) = 27
\]
Expression becomes:
\[
21 \div 3 + 27 \times 9 + 5
\]

2. Step 2: Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
- First, solve \( 21 \div 3 \):
\[
21 \div 3 = 7
\]
- Next, solve \( 27 \times 9 \):
\[
27 \times 9 = 243
\]
Expression becomes:
\[
7 + 243 + 5
\]

3. Step 3: Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
- First, add \( 7 + 243 \):
\[
7 + 243 = 250
\]
- Next, add \( 250 + 5 \):
\[
250 + 5 = 255
\]

Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{255}
\]

\[
3 \times 1 = 3
\]
Expression becomes:
\[
3 + 6
\]

3. Step 3: Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)

\[
3 + 6 = 9
\]

Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{9}
\]
