Given equation: 1496 * 8 * 13 * 40 * 5 * 0 Let us check all the options: Option 1: ÷, ×, =, +, − The expression becomes: = 1496 ÷ 8 × 13 = 40 + 5 - 0 = 2431 is not equal to 45. Option 2: ÷, +, =, −, × = 1496 ÷ 8 + 13 = 40 - 5 × 0 = 200 is not equal to 40. Option 3: ÷, +, −, ×, = = 1496 ÷ 8 + 13 - 40 × 5 = 0 = 0 is equal to 0. As we have found our answer, we need not check the other options. Hence, option 3 is the correct answer. |
