• A. 1
• B. 7
• C. 16
• D. 56

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To simplify the expression \(24 \div 4 \times 2 + 8 - 4\), we apply the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):

1. Division: \(24 \div 4 = 6\). The expression becomes \(6 \times 2 + 8 - 4\).

2. Multiplication: \(6 \times 2 = 12\). The expression becomes \(12 + 8 - 4\).

3. Addition: \(12 + 8 = 20\). The expression becomes \(20 - 4\).

4. Subtraction: \(20 - 4 = 16\).

The simplified result is 16.
