    The expression becomes: 40⋅4/8+12−6440 \cdot 4 / 8 + 12 - 64

  2. Perform multiplication and division from left to right

    • 40⋅4=16040 \cdot 4 = 160 The expression becomes: 160/8+12−64160 / 8 + 12 - 64
    • 160/8=20160 / 8 = 20 The expression becomes: 20+12−6420 + 12 - 64
  3. Perform addition and subtraction from left to right

    • 20+12=3220 + 12 = 32 The expression becomes: 32−6432 - 64
    • 32−64=−3232 - 64 = -32

    Therefore, 40 * 1/4 of 16 / 8 + 12 - 64 = -32.
