Simplify the following expression by doing one calcu \[ \begin{array}{ll} 2.30^{*} & 4+2 \times 3-1 \\ 2.31^{*} & 1+3 \times 2 \div 6-2 \\ 2.32^{* *} & 9-(12-8) \\ 2.33^{* *} & 3+3 \times 3-3 \\ 2.34^{* *} & (3+2) \times(6-2) \\ 2.35^{* *} & 2+2 \times 2+2-2+(2+2) \\ 2.36^{* *} & 8-2 \times 3+6-(5-1) \\ 2.37^{* *} & 10-4+(3-1) \times 3 \\ 2.38^{* *} & 3 \times 0+2 \times 0 \\ 2.39^{* *} & (6-2+7)+(3-2+12) \end{array} \] \( 2.40^{* * *} \) Simplify by doing only one calculation each step. \[ \frac{(5 \times 12+16 \div 4) \div 8}{(16-8) \times 2} \]

Calculate or simplify the expression \( \frac{(5 \times 12+16 \div 4) \div 8}{(16-8) \times 2} \). Calculate the value by following steps: - step0: Calculate: \(\frac{\left(5\times 12+16\div 4\right)\div 8}{\left(16-8\right)\times 2}\) - step1: Multiply the numbers: \(\frac{\left(60+16\div 4\right)\div 8}{\left(16-8\right)\times 2}\) - step2: Divide the numbers: \(\frac{\left(60+4\right)\div 8}{\left(16-8\right)\times 2}\) - step3: Add the numbers: \(\frac{64\div 8}{\left(16-8\right)\times 2}\) - step4: Subtract the numbers: \(\frac{64\div 8}{8\times 2}\) - step5: Divide the numbers: \(\frac{8}{8\times 2}\) - step6: Multiply the numbers: \(\frac{8}{16}\) - step7: Reduce the fraction: \(\frac{1}{2}\) The simplified expression is \( \frac{1}{2} \) or 0.5.
