Math Problem Statement

using numbers 7 4 3 and 8 using any order of operations and also can combine these numbers (like 73 or 478) find a solution to make 10. can’t repeat the numbers

Solution

To make 10 using the numbers 7, 4, 3, and 8 in any combination, and using any order of operations, one possible solution is:

(7+3)×(84)=10(7 + 3) \times \left(\frac{8}{4}\right) = 10

Explanation:

  • Combine 7 and 3 to get 10: 7+3=107 + 3 = 10
  • Divide 8 by 4 to get 2: 8÷4=28 \div 4 = 2
  • Multiply 10 by 1 (since 2÷2=12 \div 2 = 1) gives the final answer of 10.
