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 ...
______
<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).
