Answer:

(32×15)/(17 -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The term "quotient" refers to the result of division. The term "product" refers to the result of multiplication. The term "difference" refers to the result of subtraction.

Here, we want the quotient of a product and a difference. This means the product will be divided by the difference. The product is the product of 32 and 15, so its value is (32×15). The difference is the difference of 17 and 9, so its value is (17 -9).

Then the desired numerical expression is ...

$\boxed{\dfrac{32\times15}{17-9}}$

______

<em>Additional comment</em>

The result of evaluating this expression is ...

(32×15)/(17 -9) = 480/8 = 60

For quotients and differences, the order of the operands matters. Our convention is that "the quotient of A and B" means "A/B", and "the difference of A and B" means "A-B".

In general English usage (not specific to a formal math problem), the term "difference" often is used to mean "the positive difference." That is, the wording "the difference between 3 and 4" would generally refer to the value 1 (not -1).
