Subtract 4.08 from 37. Then, divide by 3. Which of the following expressions matches the statement above? A. (37 − 4.08) ÷ 3 B. 4.08 − 37 ÷ 3 C. (4.08 − 37) ÷ 3 D. 37 − 4.08 ÷ 3

Answer 1

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.
