To simplify this expression, we can follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):
1. Solve within parentheses: 16 ÷ 4 + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8
2. Multiply and divide from left to right: 6 × 4 ÷ 8 = 24 ÷ 8 = 3
3. Calculate from left to right: 1/2 (8) ÷ 3 = 4 ÷ 3 = 4/3
Therefore, the simplified expression is 4/3. Answer choice C.
