Question

Select the statement that describes the expression 6 x one third x (12 − 3).

A 6 times one third the quotient of 12 and 3
B 6 times one third the sum of 12 and 3
C 6 times one third the product of 12 and 3
D 6 times one third of the difference of 12 and 3

Answer 1

the answer would be D.

Answer 2

D

Explanation:

6 x 1/3 = 2

1/3 x (12-3) = 2 x 9

2 x 9 = 18

A = 2 (12/3) = 2 x 4 = 8

B = 2 x 15 = 30

C = 2 x 36 = 72

D = 2 x 9 = 18
