The two numbers in the parenthesis must therefore be added.

#3(67/6)#

and after that, we multiply to obtain

#67/2# or #33.5#

Using PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, Addition and Subtraction from left to right):

First, simplify the expression inside the parentheses: ( 9 + \frac{13}{6} = \frac{54}{6} + \frac{13}{6} = \frac{67}{6} )

Then, multiply 3 by the result: ( 3 \times \frac{67}{6} = \frac{201}{6} = \frac{67}{2} )
