Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 3(42 + 32 ÷ 4 - 5) \), we need to address the division inside the parentheses first.

Let's break it down step by step:

1. Start with the expression inside the parentheses: \( 42 + 32 ÷ 4 - 5 \).
2. The first operation we perform is the division: \( 32 ÷ 4 \).

So, the quotient that must be found to simplify the expression is \( 32 ÷ 4 \).

Therefore, the correct response is:

32÷4 (32 divided by 4).
