32÷4
32 divided by 4

144÷4
144 divided by 4

Answer 1

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

Looking at the expression inside the parentheses:

1. Calculate \(32 \div 4\).

So, the quotient that must be found to simplify the expression is:

32 ÷ 4.

Therefore, the correct response is:

32 divided by 4.
