You're welcome! And yes, you are correct in your calculation.
To solve the problem, you first need to simplify the expression by performing division operations. In this case, you have two division operations:
1. 72 divided by 8 equals 9.
2. 9 divided by 3 equals 3.
Once you have simplified these divisions, you can substitute the results back into the original expression:
72/8 - 9/3 becomes 9 - 3.
Finally, you can evaluate the subtraction operation:
9 - 3 equals 6.
So, the final answer to the problem 72 divided by 8 minus 9 divided by 3 is indeed 6.
