To solve the problem step-by-step:
1. Subtract 4.08 from 37:
\( 37 - 4.08 \)
2. Then divide the result by 3:
\( \frac{(37 - 4.08)}{3} \)
Now, we can match this expression to the options given:
A. \( (37 - 4.08) \div 3 \)
B. \( 4.08 - 37 \div 3 \)
C. \( (4.08 - 37) \div 3 \)
D. \( 37 - 4.08 \div 3 \)
The only option that correctly matches the sequence of operations is:
**A. (37 − 4.08) ÷ 3**.
So the correct answer is **A**.
