Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to replace the * signs and balance the given equation.
22*3*5*8*2*33
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Given equation: 22 * 3 * 5 * 8 * 2 * 33
Testing option (A) +, ×, -, ÷, =:
Substitute the signs into the equation:
22 + 3 × 5 - 8 ÷ 2 = 33
Applying the BODMAS rule:
• Division: 8 ÷ 2 = 4
• Multiplication: 3 × 5 = 15
• Addition and Subtraction: 22 + 15 - 4 = 37 - 4 = 33
33 = 33 (LHS = RHS)
Hence, the correct option is (A).
