OK, this quiz is always the same. But for future reference, many quizzes scramble the question order each time, so it's better to quote the entire question.

It's a matter of operator precedence and associativity.

The operator precedence of multiplication and division is the same, and the associativity is left-to-right, so you would do the division first, and then the multiplication.

But be aware of the number types, both division operands are integers, so the rules for integer math will apply there. But since one of the multiplication operands is a double, the double rules will apply to that part.

For future reference, here's a handy chart of Precedence and Associativity of C Operators.
