Select the correct combination of mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the * signs and balance the given equation.
14 * 7 * 39 * 133 * 19 * 130
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. x, +, -, ÷, =.
Given equation: 14 * 7 * 39 * 133 * 19 * 130
Let us check all the options:
Option 1: ÷, –, +, ×, =
The expression becomes:
= 14 ÷ 7 - 39 + 133 × 19 = 130
= 2490 is not equal to 130.
Option 2: ×, +, –, ÷, =
= 14 × 7 + 39 - 133 ÷ 19 = 130
= 130 is equal to 130.
As we have found our answer, we need not check the other options.
Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
