To solve the expression \( 32 \times (1 + 3) \), we need to follow the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)).
1. **Parentheses**: First, we calculate the expression inside the parentheses:
\[
1 + 3 = 4
\]
2. **Multiplication**: Next, we multiply:
\[
32 \times 4 = 128
\]
Since \( 128 \) is not one of the provided options (36, 24, 12, 42), it seems there may be a misunderstanding in the options or the question. However, the calculated result following the correct order of operations is \( 128 \).
