Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to sequentially replace the * signs and to balance the given equation.

(130 * 4) * 21 * 485 * (28 * 2)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. ×, -, =, +, ÷.

Given equation: (130 * 4) * 21 * 485 * (28 * 2)

Option 1: ×, -, =, +, ÷

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= (130 × 4) - 21 = 485 + (28 ÷ 2)

= 520 - 21 = 485 + 14

= 499 = 499

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
