Solve 16*12div(64div4*(4*32div16))

$$16 \times 12 \div (64 \div 4 \times (4 \times 32 \div 16))$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{3}{2}=1.5$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 16 and 12 to get 192.

$$\frac{192}{\frac{64}{4}\times \frac{4\times 32}{16}}$$

Divide 64 by 4 to get 16.

$$\frac{192}{16\times \frac{4\times 32}{16}}$$

Multiply 4 and 32 to get 128.

$$\frac{192}{16\times \frac{128}{16}}$$

Divide 128 by 16 to get 8.

$$\frac{192}{16\times 8}$$

Multiply 16 and 8 to get 128.

$$\frac{192}{128}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{192}{128} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 64.

$$\frac{3}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2} = 1.5$$
