\(4 \times 16 - 16 = \ \ \ \ |\hbox{multiplication before subtraction} \\
64-16= \\
48 \\ \\
4 \times [24 -2 \times (4+8)]= \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{parentheses first} \\
4 \times [24 - 2 \times 12]= \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{multiplication before subtraction} \\
4 \times [24 - 24]= \\
4 \times 0= \\
0 \\ \\
48 \ \textgreater \ 0 \\ \Downarrow \\
4 \times 16 - 16 \ \textgreater \ 4 \times [24- 2 \times (4+8)]\)
The answer is c. >.
