Explanation: Hello Students, time to practice and review the steps for the problem.

Lesson Steps

Step	Type	Explanation	Answer
1	Problem	Simplify: \$ \| - 54 - 10 \| \div 16 \$
2	Step	Let’s start by evaluating the absolute values:	\$ \| - 54 - 10 \| \div 16 \$
3	Step	The absolute value of any negative number is its positive counterpart	\$ \| - 54 - 10 \| \$ = 64
4	Step	Now, we substitute this value back into the original expression:	\$64/16\$
5	Step	So, the simplified expression is	4

Answer

Problem

Simplify:
\$ | - 54 - 10 | \div 16 \$

Step

Let’s start by evaluating the absolute values:

\$ | - 54 - 10 | \div 16 \$

Step

The absolute value of any negative number is its positive counterpart

\$ | - 54 - 10 | \$ = 64

Step

Now, we substitute this value back into the original expression:

\$64/16\$

Step

So, the simplified expression is

Choice.A

This option is incorrect because it doesn’t match the result of the simplification. The correct result is 4, not 9

Choice.B

This option is correct. After computing the absolute value of − 54 − 10, which is \$\∣−64\∣\$, we get 64. Dividing 64 by 16 yields 4

Choice.C

This option is incorrect. It does not represent the correct result of the simplification. The correct result is 4, not 12

Choice.D

This option is incorrect because it doesn’t match the result of the simplification. The correct result is 4, not 16
