The answer is:
________________________________________________________Â
"Â
"; Â or, "5
" ;
                  or, write as:  "5.366" .

Explanation:
__________________________________
Given:  " (1 + 0.12 ÷ 12)12 * 1 ÷ 2− 1 ÷ 0.12 ÷ 12 = ? " ;
___________________________________________
First, start with the "parentheses" ;
______________________________
 "(1 + 0.12 ÷ 12) = ??
Start with the division:  " 0.12 ÷ 12 = 0.01 " .
 "(1 + 0.01)" = (1.01) .
We have: Â "1.01 (12)Â
Given:  " (1.01)12 * 1 ÷ 2 − 1 ÷ 0.12 ÷ 12 = ? " ;
So, 1.01 * 12 =Â 12 .12 .
______________________
  " 12.12 * 1 ÷  2 − 1 ÷ 0.12 ÷ 12 = ? " ;
Note: Â Using order of operations, treat this problem as:
   " [ (12.12 * 1) ÷  2 ]  −  [ (1 ÷ 0.12) ÷ 12 ] = ? " ;
Â
→   ( 12.12 ÷ 2 )  −  (25/3) ÷ 12 ] = ? " ;
→   ( 6.06)  −  { (25/3) * 1/12) }  = ?
→   ( 6.06)  −  { ( 25* 1) / (3*12)  = ?
Â
→   ( 6.06)  −  { ( 25* 1) / (3*12)  = ? Â
→   ( 6.06)  −  (25/36) ;
→   6
 − Â
  ;
→  6
 − Â
  ;
Rewrite " 6
" ; as an improper fraction: Â
 →  " 6Â
" Â = "[ (50*6) + 3 ] / 50 =
 ;
__________________________________________
→  6
  − Â

  − Â

 = Â

_________________________________
→ Divide EACH SIDE of the "fraction" by "2" ; to simplify:
____________________________________________________
→ Â
;
=
 = 5
; or, write as:
                       Â
                    (5 + (329 ÷ 900)  =  →  5.3655555555555556 .
                                   → round to:  5.366 .
