Knowing #PEMDAS#, we have to start with the parenthesis, from left to right.

#40# divided by #10# is #4#, so our expression is so far:

#4 ÷ (1xx4)#

We know that #1xx4=4#, so the expression now turns into:

#4 ÷ 4 = 1#

Hope this helped!

There is only term, but several operations which we need to do.

Calculate the answer to each of the parentheses first and then divide them.

#(color(blue)(40 div10)) div color(red)((1xx4))#

#=color(white)(x)(color(blue)(4))" " div" " color(red)((4))#

#=4" "div" "4#

#=1#
