Answer:
64

Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 - Simplify the parentheses

2^5 / 2^3 • (4 - 2)^4
2^5 / 2^3 • 2^4

Step 2 - Use this formula: a / b/c = a • c/b and simplify

2^5 / 2^3 • 2^4
2^5 • 1/2^3 • 2^4
32 • 1/8 • 16

Step 3 - Divide

32 • 1/8 • 16
32 • 1 • 16/ 8
512/8

Step 4 - Simplify

512/8

You want to use PEMDAS to solve this problem.
So we do the parentheses first (4-2) = 2
Then you would do the exponent next
2 to the 5th power is 32
2 to the 3rd power is 8
(2) to the 4th power is 16
32 / 8 • 16
Then we want to do Multiplication and division from what ever comes first so in this case 32/8, which will equal 4 then we multiple 4 with 16 making the answer 64
