Let's break down the expression step by step.
The expression is:
\[ 20.8 : (12 - 11.36) - 8 : 12.5 \]
Calculate \( 12 - 11.36 \): \[ 12 - 11.36 = 0.64 \]
Now substitute this back into the expression: \[ 20.8 : 0.64 - 8 : 12.5 \]
Perform the division:
- \( 20.8 : 0.64 = \frac{20.8}{0.64} = 32.5 \)
- \( 8 : 12.5 = \frac{8}{12.5} = 0.64 \)
Substitute back into the expression: \[ 32.5 - 0.64 \]
Now perform the subtraction: \[ 32.5 - 0.64 = 31.86 \]
So, the result of the expression is: \[ \boxed{31.86} \]
