Question

Evaluate the expression. (10-1)/27 With a small two at the top of the 10 minus1 would the answer be 2/3 or three or nine or 27

Answer 1

(10^2 -1) /27 = 99/27 = 33/9 =11/3
or
(10-1)^2 / 27 = 81 / 27 = 3

Your typing is very hard to figure out.

Answer 2

I am not sure what the student means. It might be 3

Answer 3

but how about (10-1)^2 / 27 ????
at least that results in an answer on the list.

Answer 4

I guess guessing what on earth the student means is not part of botism.
