Options
- A16 + 5 − 10 × 4 ÷ 3 = 9
- B16 − 5 × 10 ÷ 4 + 3 = 12
- C16 + 5 ÷ 10 × 4 − 3 = 9
- D16 × 5 ÷ 10 ÷ 4 − 3 = 19
Correct answer
A. 16 + 5 − 10 × 4 ÷ 3 = 9
Step-by-step solution
From the first option, we get:
16 + 5 − 10 × 4 ÷ 3 = 9
→ 16 × 5 ÷ 10 + 4 − 3 = 9
→ 8 + 4 − 3 = 9
→ 12 − 3 = 9.
Hence, the option A is correct.
16 + 5 − 10 × 4 ÷ 3 = 9
→ 16 × 5 ÷ 10 + 4 − 3 = 9
| → 16 ×& | 1 | + 4 − 3 = 9 |
| 2 |
→ 8 + 4 − 3 = 9
→ 12 − 3 = 9.
Hence, the option A is correct.
