Answer:

Please see the attached picture.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Draw a benzene ring

2) On the first carbon, add a CH₂CH₃ (known as ethyl) since its location number is 1.

3) 'Dimethyl' refers to 2 methyl (CH₃) branches. The location numbers are 2 and 3, thus add a CH₃ on the 2nd and 3rd carbons.
