Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e ×, +, ÷, -, =.

Understanding

Given expression: 15 * 4 * 26 * 2 * 7 * 66

Check the options:

Option 1: +, ×, -, ÷, =

After replacement the equation becomes;

=15 + 4 × 26 - 2 ÷ 7 = 66

= 118.71 is not equal to 66.

Hence, option 1 is not the correct answer.

Option 2: +, ×, ÷, -, =

After replacement the equation becomes;

=15 + 4 × 26 ÷ 2 - 7 = 66

=60 is not equal to 66.

Hence, option 2 is not the correct answer.

Option 3: ×, +, ÷, -, =

After replacement the equation becomes;

= 15 × 4 + 26 ÷ 2 - 7 = 66

= 66

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.

Option 4: ×, +, -, ÷, =

After replacement the equation becomes;

= 15 × 4 + 26 - 2 ÷ 7 = 66

= 85.714 is not equal to 66.

Hence, option 4 is not the correct answer.
