Answer: 5.45
Given the following expression
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{12}(14.4\text{ + 18) + 2.75} \\ \text{Firstly, we n}eed\text{ to solve the parenthesis} \\ =\text{ }\frac{1}{12}(32.4)\text{ + 2.75} \\ \text{Secondly, multiply the fraction by the value inside the parenthesis} \\ =\frac{1}{12}\text{ x }32.4\text{ + 2.75} \\ =\text{ }\frac{32.4}{12}\text{ + 2.75} \\ =\text{ 2.7 + 2.75} \\ =\text{ 5.45} \end{gathered}[/tex]
