Which of the following interchanges of numbers (not the digits of the numbers) would make the given equation correct?
16 × 12 ÷ 4 + 8 – 16 = 32
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 8 and 16.
Given equation: 16 × 12 ÷ 4 + 8 – 16 = 32
On interchanging the numbers:
8 × 12 ÷ 4 + 16 – 8 = 32
24 + 16 - 8 = 32
40 - 8 = 32
32 = 32
