Answer :

To solve the expression [tex]\( 32 \div 4 + 4 \times 8 \)[/tex], we'll follow the order of operations, often abbreviated as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)).

1. Division: First, we divide 32 by 4:
[tex]\[ 32 \div 4 = 8 \][/tex]

2. Multiplication: Next, we multiply 4 by 8:
[tex]\[ 4 \times 8 = 32 \][/tex]

3. Addition: Finally, we add the results of the division and multiplication:
[tex]\[ 8 + 32 = 40 \][/tex]

So, the solution to [tex]\( 32 \div 4 + 4 \times 8 \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 40 \)[/tex].

Therefore, the best answer is:
B. 40
