Answer 1

To simplify the expression $(1.9-0.3)÷8+4\times 3$, we'll use the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)).

Step 1: Solve inside the parentheses.

Calculate $1.9-0.3$:

$$1.9-0.3=1.6$$

Now, we rewrite the expression:

$$1.6÷8+4\times 3$$

Step 2: Perform the division and multiplication.

First, perform the division:

$$1.6÷8=0.2$$

Now, perform the multiplication:

$$4\times 3=12$$

At this point, we can rewrite the expression:

$$0.2+12$$

Step 3: Perform the addition.

Now, we simply add:

$$0.2+12=12.2$$

Thus, the simplified result of the given expression $(1.9-0.3)÷8+4\times 3$ is:

$$\boxed{{\displaystyle 12.2}}$$
