44

Practice makes perfect
Let's substitute a= 8, b= 4, and c= 16 in the expression and then simplify. Remember to carefully follow the order of operations. In this case, before we can calculate quotient, we should simplify the expression in the numerator first.
3ab + c^2/a
3( 8)( 4) + 16^2/8
3(8)(4) + 256/8
96 + 256/8
352/8
