Which of the following interchanges of signs would make the given equation correct?
1000 – 448 + 14 ÷ 15 × 2 = 998
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. + and ÷.
1000 – 448 + 14 ÷ 15 × 2 = 998
After interchanging signs,
1000 - (448 ÷ 14) + 15 × 2 = 998
1000 - 32 + 30 = 998
998 = 998.
