Simplify: 12−4÷4/3+1 (1 point) Skip to navigation

Answer 1

To simplify the expression, we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS) which states that we should first perform any calculations inside parentheses or brackets, then evaluate exponents, then perform multiplication and division from left to right, and finally perform addition and subtraction from left to right.

Let's simplify the expression step by step:

12 - 4 ÷ 4/3 + 1

First, let's evaluate the division: 4 ÷ 4/3 = 4 * 3/4 = 12/4 = 3

Now we can substitute this value back into the original expression:

12 - 3 + 1

Next, let's perform the subtraction: 12 - 3 = 9

Lastly, let's perform the addition: 9 + 1 = 10

Therefore, the simplified expression is 10.
