Which two numbers should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
96 ÷ 6 - 16 + 12 × 8 = 40
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 6 and 12.
Given equation: 96 ÷ 6 - 16 + 12 × 8 = 40
Option 1: 6 and 12
After interchanging the expression becomes:
= 96 ÷ 12 - 16 + 6 × 8 = 40
= 8 - 16 + 6 × 8
= 8 - 16 + 48
= 56 - 16
= 40
Hence, Option 1 is the correct answer.
