Consider the

Question

expression 3 (42+ 32÷ 4-5)].
Which quotient must be found to simplify the expression? (1 point)
96+4
• 48 ÷ 4
• 32 ÷ 4
• 144-4

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 3 (42 + 32 \div 4 - 5) \), we need to evaluate the division that appears within the parentheses first, according to the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS rules).

The expression inside the parentheses is \( 42 + 32 \div 4 - 5 \). The quotient we need to find to simplify the expression is:

32 ÷ 4

So, the correct answer is:

• 32 ÷ 4
