Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 3(42 + 32 \div 4 - 5) \), we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

First, we calculate the division part inside the parentheses:

\[ 32 \div 4 \]

This is the quotient that must be found to simplify the expression.

So the correct response is:

**32 ÷ 4**
