Understanding

Given Equation: 530 * 2 * 3 * 5 * 800

Check all the options:

Option 1: ÷ + - =

After replacement, the equation becomes;

530 ÷ 2 + 3 - 5 = 800

= 263 is not equal to 800.

Hence, option 1 is not the correct answer.

Option 2: ÷ - - =

After replacement, the equation becomes;

=  530 ÷ 2 - 3 - 5 = 800

= 257 is not equal to 800.

Hence, option 2 is not the correct answer.

Option 3: ÷ × + =

After replacement, the equation becomes;

=  530 ÷ 2 × 3 + 5 = 800

= 800 is equal to 800.

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.

Option 4: + + × =

After replacement, the equation becomes;

= 530 + 2 + 3 × 5 = 800

= 547 is not equal to 800.

Hence, option 4 is not the correct answer.
