Simplify: 12−4÷4/3+1 .(1 point)

1 answer

To simplify 12 - 4 ÷ 4/3 + 1, we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

First, we evaluate the division: 4 ÷ 4/3. To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal: 4 ÷ 4/3 = 4 × 3/4 = 12/4 = 3.

Now we have 12 - 3 + 1. Next, we perform the subtraction: 12 - 3 = 9.

Finally, we add the remaining 1: 9 + 1 = 10.

So the simplified expression is 10.
