The worked solution
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, compare your working with the solution.
Plan. Brackets, then powers, then * and /, then + and -.
4 ** 2is16.3 * 16is48.48 / 8is6.0.2 + 6.0 - 1is7.0.
