Answer:

multiply 4 and 8 to get 32

Explanation:

After substituting, the expression is ...

4·8 +9/7

The order of operations tells you to do multiplication and division before addition and subtraction. You do them left-to-right. The multiplication on the left is 4·8, so you do that first. The result is ...

32 + 9/7

Now, you can do the division:

32 + (1 2/7)

And, finally, the addition:

33 2/7

___

Or, you could skip the division and go straight to adding a whole number and a fraction:

(32·7 +9)/7 = (224+9)/7 = 233/7
