Answer:
94
Step-by-step explanation:
We must first evaluate the expression in parentheses (remember our order of operations, PEMDAS). To do this, we must find a common denominator.
The first thing that 3, 16, 24 and 8 will all divide into is 48; we must convert each fraction to 48ths.
It takes 16 3's to make 48; this means we multiply the top and bottom of this fraction by 16. This gives us 16/48.
It takes 3 16's to make 48; this means we multiply the top and bottom of this fraction by 3. This gives us 1 3/48.
It takes 2 24's to make 48; this means we multiply the top and bottom of this fraction by 2. This gives us -26/48.
It takes 6 8's to make 48; this means we multiply the top and bottom of this fraction by 6. This gives us 6/48.
This means we have
(16/48 + 1 3/48 - 26/48 + 6/48)(96)
(1 19/48 - 26/48 + 6/48)(96)
(67/48 - 26/48 + 6/48)(96)
(41/48 + 6/48)(96)
47/48(96) = (47*96)/(48) = 47*2 = 94
