Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In the English expression, you need to understand that "A divided by B" means that A is the numerator and B is the denominator of the fraction representing the division. Here, "B" is "the quantity of ...", which means that the stuff after "of ..." is to be treated as a single item, the denominator in this case. That item is "x plus y." So, the expression in math terms is ...
When this is written in plain text, the "quantity" is put in parentheses, because the fraction bar no longer serves as a grouping symbol:
9/(x+y)
These expressions match the first choice, A.
