Which statement

Answer 1

The sum of 2 and the quotient of 3 and y

Explanation:

The expression 2 + 3/y without any parentheses is evaluated as ...

2 + (3/y)

which is a sum. The first contributor to the sum is 2, and the second contributor is the quotient of 3 and y. (Usually, "the quotient of "a" and "b" means "a/b".)

Hence the answer shown above is a good description of the expression.
