Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 3(42 + 32 \div 4 - 5) \), we first need to perform the division \( 32 \div 4 \), since it is part of the expression inside the parentheses.

Calculating \( 32 \div 4 \) gives us \( 8 \). Therefore, to simplify the expression, we need to find the quotient that equates to \( 32 \div 4 \).

So, the correct response is:

32 ÷ 4
