Options

A. 11
B. 18
C. 13
D. 27

Answer

To solve the expression \[ \{ [(6 \div 2) \times 3] \times 2 \} \], we will follow the order of operations, which is Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Calculate the division inside the parentheses:**
\[ 6 \div 2 = 3 \]
Now the expression simplifies to:
\[ \{ [3 \times 3] \times 2 \} \]

**Hint:** Always start with operations inside parentheses.

2. **Next, perform the multiplication inside the brackets:**
\[ 3 \times 3 = 9 \]
Now the expression simplifies to:
\[ \{ 9 \times 2 \} \]

**Hint:** After division, proceed with multiplication in the order they appear.

3. **Finally, perform the multiplication:**
\[ 9 \times 2 = 18 \]

**Hint:** Multiply the results from the previous step to find the final answer.

### Final Answer:
\[ \{ [(6 \div 2) \times 3] \times 2 \} = 18 \]
