Question

Which statement best describes the expression 2 + 3 ÷ y?

Answer 1

The answer out of the choices that you have given me is C. Because you are adding 2 and 3 and y is going to be the quotient so that's the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

A. The sum of 2 and the quotient of 3 and y.

Step-by-step explanation:      

We have been given an expression: $2+3\div y$. We are asked to choose the correct statement about our given expression.

We will use order of operations (PEMDAS) to answer our given problem.

P = Parenthesis.

E = Exponent.

M = Multiplication

D = Division

A = Addition

S = Subtraction

According to order of operations division comes before addition, so our expression will be: $2+(3\div y)$, which is the sum of 2 and the quotient of 3 and y.

Therefore, option A is the correct choice.
