Question

Hakim needs your help to simplify the expression using order of operations.

(1.9−0.3)÷8+4×3

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( (1.9 - 0.3) \div 8 + 4 \times 3 \), we will follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):

1. **Parentheses/Brackets**: First, we simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
\[
1.9 - 0.3 = 1.6
\]
Now the expression becomes:
\[
1.6 \div 8 + 4 \times 3
\]

2. **Division and Multiplication**: Next, we perform the division and multiplication from left to right:
- First, we do the division:
\[
1.6 \div 8 = 0.2
\]
- Then, we do the multiplication:
\[
4 \times 3 = 12
\]

3. **Addition**: Now we combine the results from the division and multiplication:
\[
0.2 + 12 = 12.2
\]

Therefore, the simplified expression is:
\[
\boxed{12.2}
\]
