simplify: 12 - 4 % 4/3 + 1

1 answer

To simplify the expression, we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

First, let's determine the value of 4 % 4. The modulo operator (%) gives the remainder when we divide the two numbers. Here, 4 divided by 4 equals 1, so the remainder is 0.

Now we can simplify the expression using this information:

12 - 0/3 + 1

Next, let's perform the division: 0 divided by 3 equals 0.

12 - 0 + 1

Now we can subtract and add:

12 + 1

This gives us the final result: 13.
