24 * 12 * 35 * 24 * 6 * 319
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. ×, +, - , ÷, =.
Given equation: 24 * 12 * 35 * 24 * 6 * 319
Let us check all the options:
Option 1: +, - , ÷, ×, =
The expression becomes:
= 24 + 12 - 35 ÷ 24 × 6 = 319
= 27.25 is not equal to 49.
Option 2: ×, ÷, +, -, =
The expression becomes:
= 24 × 12 ÷ 35 + 24 - 6 = 319
= 26.22 is not equal to 319.
Option 3: ×, +, - , ÷, =
The expression becomes:
= 24 × 12 + 35 - 24 ÷ 6 = 319
= 319 is equal to 319.
As we have found our answer, no need of checking further options.
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
