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

(1.1 - 0.3) / 8+4 x 3

1 answer

To simplify the expression \( (1.1 - 0.3) / 8 + 4 \times 3 \), we will follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):

  1. Parentheses/Brackets
  2. Exponents/Orders
  3. Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
  4. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)

Now, let's solve the expression step by step:

  1. Calculate inside the parentheses: \[ 1.1 - 0.3 = 0.8 \]

    Now, the expression becomes: \[ 0.8 / 8 + 4 \times 3 \]

  2. Perform the division: \[ 0.8 / 8 = 0.1 \]

    Now, the expression is: \[ 0.1 + 4 \times 3 \]

  3. Perform the multiplication: \[ 4 \times 3 = 12 \]

    Now, the expression simplifies to: \[ 0.1 + 12 \]

  4. Perform the addition: \[ 0.1 + 12 = 12.1 \]

Thus, the simplified expression is \(\boxed{12.1}\).
