Which two numbers should be interchanged to make the following equation correct?
96 ÷ 8 − 3 × 6 + 32 = 24
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 6 and 8.
Given equation: 96 ÷ 8 − 3 × 6 + 32 = 24
Option 1: 6 and 8
After interchanging the expression becomes:
= 96 ÷ 6 − 3 × 8 + 32 = 24
= 16 − 3 × 8 + 32
= 16 − 24 + 32
= 24 is equal to 24.
As we have found our answer, there is no need to check further options.
Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
