b. 15
c. 17
d. 6
MY ANSWER 15??????
15 ITS RIGHT?
Rewrite the problem. It makes no sense. What are the symbols between the 9 and 3 and the 3 and 4?
To evaluate the given expression 9 ¸ 3 + 3 ´ 4, we need to follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS).
PEMDAS stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
First, we perform any multiplication and division from left to right. In this case, we have 3 ´ 4, which equals 12.
Then, we move on to addition and subtraction from left to right. We have 9 ¸ 3, which equals 3.
Finally, we add the results of the previous steps together: 3 + 12 = 15.
Therefore, the correct answer is b. 15.
