To evaluate the expression \((72 + 8) \div (1 - (-3)) \times 4\), we can follow the order of operations (parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division from left to right, addition and subtraction from left to right).
-
Start by evaluating the expression inside the parentheses:
- \(72 + 8 = 80\)
- \(1 - (-3) = 1 + 3 = 4\)
-
Now substitute back into the expression: \[ 80 \div 4 \times 4 \]
-
Perform the division first: \[ 80 \div 4 = 20 \]
-
Now multiply the result by 4: \[ 20 \times 4 = 80 \]
Thus, the final answer is \(80\).
