(6×8)÷4=48÷4=12.

Explanation:

The standard convention is that multiplication and division have the same importance, so when deciding which to do first in a situation like this, we just evaluate left to right.

Going left to right, we'll first do the multiplication in this case. So we have 6×8÷4=(6×8)÷4=48÷4=12.
