Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Step 1: Replace each operator according to the rules.
Plus (+) means multiply (×).
Minus (−) means divide (÷).
Times (×) means subtract (−).
Divide (÷) means add (+).
Apply these to the expression 16 × 4 + 12 − 4 ÷ 18.
After replacement the expression becomes: 16 − 4 × 12 ÷ 4 + 18.
Compute multiplication and division from left to right:
4 × 12 = 48
48 ÷ 4 = 12
Now the expression is 16 − 12 + 18.
Evaluate left to right: 16 − 12 = 4, then 4 + 18 = 22.
Final answer: 22
