Question

.(1 point)

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 12 - 4 \div 43 + 1 \), we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

1. Division: Calculate \( 4 \div 43 \). \[ 4 \div 43 \approx 0.093 \]

2. Subtraction and Addition: Now we can substitute this value back into the expression: \[ 12 - 0.093 + 1 \]

3. Calculate \( 12 - 0.093 \): \[ 12 - 0.093 = 11.907 \]

4. Now add 1: \[ 11.907 + 1 = 12.907 \]

Thus, the simplified expression is: \[ \boxed{12.907} \]
