Step-by-Step Solution

We simplify this expression paying attention to the order of operations which states that exponentiation comes before multiplication and division, and before addition and subtraction, and that parentheses precede all of them.

Therefore, we start by performing the multiplication within parentheses, then we carry out the division operation, and we finish by performing the subtraction operation:

9−6:(4⋅3)−1=9−6:12−1=9−0.5−1=7.5 9-6:(4\cdot3)-1= \\ 9-6:12-1= \\ 9-0.5-1= \\ 7.5

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

Answer

7.5
