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

(120 * 15) * 9 *  * 17 * 28 * 95

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. ÷, ×, +, ×, −, =.

Given equation: (120 * 15) * 9 *  * 17 * 28 * 95

Option 1: ÷, ×, +, ×, −, =

After interchanging the expression becomes:

= (120 ÷ 15) × 9 +  × 17 − 28 = 95

= 8 × 9 +  × 17 − 28

= 72 + 3 × 17 − 28

= 72 + 51 − 28

= 95 is equal to 95.

As we have found our answer, there is no need to check further options.

Hence, ÷, ×, +, ×, −, = is the correct answer.
