Question : Directions: Which two signs need to be changed to make the following equation correct? 64 – 8 ÷ 3 + 7 × 5 = 40
Option 1: × and +
Option 2: × and ÷
Option 3: ÷ and –
Option 4: ÷ and +
Correct Answer: ÷ and –
Solution : Given: 64 – 8 ÷ 3 + 7 × 5 = 40
Replace the given symbols in the options one by one with the original symbols in the given equation. First option: × and + = 64 – 8 ÷ 3 × 7 + 5 = 64 – 18.67 + 5 = 50.33 ≠ 40 Second option: × and ÷ = 64 – 8 × 3 + 7 ÷ 5 = 64 – 24 + 1.4 = 41.4 ≠ 40 Third option: ÷ and – = 64 ÷ 8 – 3 + 7 × 5 = 8 – 3 + 35 = 40 Fourth option: ÷ and + = 64 – 8 + 3 ÷ 7 × 5 = 64 – 8 + 2.14 = 58.14 ≠ 40
Here, only the third option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the third option is correct.
