The answer is B.
Oh, yeah. I figured it out already! Thanks! I just misread it.
To simplify the given expression, we need to follow the order of operations, which is also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, Addition and Subtraction from left to right).
Let's break down the expression step-by-step:
1. First, perform any operations within parentheses (if any). In this case, there are no parentheses in the expression.
2. Next, evaluate any exponents (if any). There are no exponents in the expression.
3. Then, perform multiplication and division from left to right.
- Starting with 5x9, we get 45.
- Next, simplify 3x5 to get 15.
- Now, divide 18 by 3 to get 6.
- Finally, divide 45 by 15 to get 3.
4. Finally, perform addition and subtraction from left to right.
- Add 2 and 3 to get 5.
- Add 6 and 3 to get 9.
Therefore, the simplified expression is 9 divided by 5, which is equal to 1.8.
Since none of the answer choices match the simplified expression, the correct option is not provided.
