Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

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

Understanding

Given equation: 64 * 16 * 22 * 11 * 5 * 70

Let us check all the options:

Option 1: ×, -, +, ÷, =

The expression becomes:

= 64 × 16 - 22 + 11 ÷ 5 = 70

= 1004.20 is not equal to70.

Option 2: -, +, ÷, ×, =

= 64 - 16 + 22 ÷ 11 × 5 = 70

= 58 is not equal to 70.

Option 3: +, -, ÷, ×, =

= 64 + 16 - 22 ÷ 11 × 5 = 70

= 70 is equal to 70.

As we have found our answer, we need not check the other options.

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
