To find the 11th term in the arithmetic sequence given by the explicit formula \( A_n = 4.8 + (n - 1) 2 \), we will substitute \( n = 11 \) into the formula.
Substituting:
\[ A_{11} = 4.8 + (11 - 1) \cdot 2 \]
Calculating \( 11 - 1 \):
\[ 11 - 1 = 10 \]
Now, substitute this value into the formula:
\[ A_{11} = 4.8 + 10 \cdot 2 \]
Calculating \( 10 \cdot 2 \):
\[ 10 \cdot 2 = 20 \]
Now, add this result to 4.8:
\[ A_{11} = 4.8 + 20 = 24.8 \]
Thus, the 11th term in the arithmetic sequence is \( \boxed{24.8} \).
