Question

Select the expression that represents the following statement: 3 times one fourth the difference of 26 and 10.

Answer 1

Answer:

the second option #2

one fourth x (26-10) x 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Two of the options (#1 and #4) can be ruled out immediately since they don't involve the difference of 26 and 10.

#3 can be ruled out because the difference needs to be multiplied by one fourth, but this option gives the wrong answer since the multiplication is done before subtraction (BODMAS)
