Final answer:
To find the largest possible result, we want to place the largest digit in the leftmost box. So we can place the digit 9 in the first box. Then, for the second box, we want the next largest digit, which is 6. Now we have 96 as the largest possible result. The answer is D) 56.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the largest possible result, we want to place the largest digit in the leftmost box. So we can place the digit 9 in the first box. Then, for the second box, we want the next largest digit, which is 6. Now we have 96 as the largest possible result. To complete the answer choices, we can compare 96 with the remaining two digits, 1 and 5. The largest number we can form is 96, so the answer is D) 56.
