Understanding

Given Equation: 27 + 48 × 2 - 7 ÷ 3 = 30

Check all the options:

Option 1: - and ÷

After replacement the equation becomes;

=  27 + 48 × 2 ÷ 7 - 3

=  37.71 is not equal to 30.

Hence, option 1 is not the correct answer.

Option 2: + and -

After replacement the equation becomes;

=  27 - 48 × 2 + 7 ÷ 3

=  -66.66 is not equal to 30.

Hence, option 2 is not the correct answer.

Option 3: × and ÷

After replacement the equation becomes;

=  27 + 48 ÷ 2 - 7 × 3

=  30 is equal to 30.

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.

Option 4: - and ×

After replacement the equation becomes;

= 27 + 48 - 2 × 7 ÷ 3

= 70.33 is not equal to 30.

Hence, option 4 is not the correct answer.
