Math Problem Statement
Solution
I can see the math problems in the image provided. The task is to insert mathematical signs (+, −, ×, ÷) or brackets in the blanks to make the equations true. Let's go through a couple of these problems and solve them step by step.
Section 1: Insert any of the following signs (+, −, ×, ÷) to make the equations correct.
-
a. 3 __ 2 = 7
- Solution:
(Inserting "+" twice).
- Solution:
-
b. 4 __ 2 __ 5 = 14
- Solution: .
-
c. 6 __ 2 = 3
- Solution: .
-
d. 5 __ 2 = 28
- This one seems tricky because no simple combination of operations results in 28. Can you double-check if the numbers are accurate?
-
e. 4 __ 2 __ 3 = 6
- Solution: .
Section 2: Insert brackets in order to make them correct.
-
a. 7 × 3 ÷ 2 = 10.5
- No need for brackets since it's already correct: .
-
b. 3 + 5 ÷ 2 = 10
- Solution: Insert brackets as to maintain the original division order.
Would you like further detailed explanations, or assistance with the other problems in the image?
Here are some related questions:
- How do brackets affect the order of operations in an equation?
- What are the key differences between addition and multiplication in terms of results?
- Can you identify other problems in the image where division takes precedence over addition or subtraction?
- Are there other possible ways to place operations in one of the equations?
- What happens if you try all possible operators for problem "d"?
Tip: Always follow the BODMAS/PEMDAS rule (Brackets, Orders, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction) for correct results!
