Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that: 3 + 2 ÷ y

It would be observed that operation addition comes before division, but with respect to BODMAS; division (D) comes before addition (A).

Thus,

3 + 2 ÷ y = 3 + $\frac{2}{y}$

and $\frac{2}{y}$ is the quotient of 2 and y

Therefore, the appropriate statement that would describe the expression is; the sum of 3 and the quotient of 2 and y. This is option C in the given question.
