Question

Which expression represents the following statement? Multiply 6 by 3, and then subtract the quotient of 18 and 9.

A) 6 x (3 ÷ 18) + 9
B) 6 + 3 + (18 ÷ 9)
C) (6 x 3) − 18 ÷ 9
D) 6 x (3 + 18) + 9

Answer 1

C) (6 x 3) - 18 ÷ 9

Explanation:

I'll solve this question by writing down every step and doing it one by one.

1. Multiply 6 by 3

--> This will be represented as 6 x 3.

2. Subtract the quotient of 18 and 9

--> The quotient is a number resulting in a division of another number. In this case, 18 is bigger than 9, so the quotient will be: 18 ÷ 9.

--> Since we are subtracting this from the equation we got earlier, it can be expressed as (6 x 3) - (18 ÷ 9)

This equation is the same as C) (6 x 3) - 18 ÷ 9, so C is our final answer.
