The order of operations (PEMDAS) states that we should do parentheses first, then exponents, then multiplication and division (from left to right), and finally addition and subtraction (from left to right). Applying this to the given expression, we get:

= 2 + (3/2) + (8-3)/6
= 2 + 1.5 + 0.83 (rounded to two decimal places)
= 4.33

Therefore, the correct way to enter the expression into Excel is choice C.
