See a solution process below:

First, evaluate the term with the EXPONENT:

$7 (16 \div 4^{2}) \Rightarrow 7 (16 \div 16)$ $7(16 -: color(red)(4^2)) => 7(16 -: 16)$

Next, evaluate the term within the PARENTHESIS:

$7 (16 \div 16) \Rightarrow 7 (1)$ $7(color(red)(16 -: 16)) => 7(1)$ or $7 \cdot 1$ $7 * 1$

Next, evaluate the MULTIPLICATION:

$7 \cdot 1 \Rightarrow 7$ $color(red)(7 * 1) => 7$
