To solve the expression [tex]\(32 \div 4 + 4 \times 8\)[/tex], we need to adhere to the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)).
1. Division: First, we need to perform the division part of the expression.
[tex]\[
32 \div 4 = 8
\][/tex]
2. Multiplication: Next, we perform the multiplication.
[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 expression [tex]\(32 \div 4 + 4 \times 8\)[/tex] evaluates to [tex]\(40\)[/tex].
Therefore, the best answer is:
C. 40
