To find the expression with the least value, we can simplify each expression and compare the results.
A. 1/2 x (1,640 ÷ 25)
Simplify the division: 1,640 ÷ 25 = 65.6
Multiply by 1/2: 65.6 x 1/2 = 32.8
B. 3 x (1,640 ÷ 25)
Simplify the division: 1,640 ÷ 25 = 65.6
Multiply by 3: 65.6 x 3 = 196.8
C. 1/3 (1,640 ÷ 25)
Simplify the division: 1,640 ÷ 25 = 65.6
Multiply by 1/3: 65.6 x 1/3 = 21.8667 (rounded)
D. 2 x (1,640 ÷ 25)
Simplify the division: 1,640 ÷ 25 = 65.6
Multiply by 2: 65.6 x 2 = 131.2
Comparing the results, we can see that the expression with the least value is option C. 1/3 (1,640 ÷ 25) = 21.8667 (rounded).
