Answer:
23.63
Explanation:
First you want to start with PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction)
Since we have parentheses we will start with those
![4.5 * 10 = 45\\4.2 *10 =42\\8 *10= 80](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/rowl6vocznszsvxnyjbc2oyc974amfr1ga.png)
for the decimals whenever you multiply a decimal by 10 you move the period one over to the right
now our equation looks something like this:
45 * 42 ÷ 80
for multiplication and division it doesn't matter which comes first as long as its in the order of the equation
![45 * 42 = 1890](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/sitcry3i6yd1oixpzdi4wq2ih5scegd9cg.png)
now we divide that by 80
1890 ÷ 80= 23.625
so then we rounded the 2 to 3 because if the number to the right is ≥ (greater than or equal to) 5 we round up, therefore having:
23.63
