I'll be glad to check your answer.
Jenny
I think is C because from what I know if you see a number and letter you multiple
Ms. Sue
But a quotient is the answer you get when you divide. 4p - 6 doesn't have any division sign.

You're right that a number and letter together means multiply.
Jenny
So the answer is C
Ms. Sue
No. What makes you think 4p - 6 has anything to do with division???

Jenny
I think is A
Ms. Sue
No, not A.

Why did you abandon this idea?

if you see a number and letter you multiply
