To evaluate the expression:


(8)/((5-1))\cdot(3+6)\cdot3

We can use PEMDAS. We can start from the parenthesis, then, since we have divisions and multiplications, and they have the same precedence, we can start doing the evaluation from the left to the right. Then, we have:


(8)/((4))\cdot(9)\cdot3=2\cdot9\cdot3=54

The answer is 54 (option D).
