Option 3 is the right answer, since you always have to do whatever is in the ( ) first. It says 9 divided by 2 with an exponent 2. We have to figure out the number of the exponent first then we can divide by 9
When you have a problem like 22 - 10 (9 ÷ [tex]2^{2}[/tex]), you have to use the order of operation! PEMDAS (parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction.)
