Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 3(42 + 32 \div 4 - 5) \), we need to focus on the operation involving division first, as per the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

Within the parentheses, we have the expression \( 42 + 32 \div 4 - 5 \). The quotient we need to find here is \( 32 \div 4 \).

Thus, the correct response is:

32 ÷ 4.
