Select the correct combination of mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the * signs and make the equation correct. 48 * 12 * 8 * 15 * 3 * 44
÷, ×, +, −, =
Setup: The expression \(48 * 12 * 8 * 15 * 3 * 44\) has five asterisks that must be replaced so the equation holds.
Step 1 - Test option 2 (divide, multiply, +, -, =): Substituting gives \(48 \div 12 \times 8 + 15 - 3 = 44\).
Step 2 - Apply BODMAS - division and multiplication left to right:
- \(48 \div 12 = 4\)
- \(4 \times 8 = 32\)
Step 3 - Then addition/subtraction: \(32 + 15 - 3 = 44\).
Step 4 - Compare with RHS: LHS = 44 = RHS. The equation is balanced.
Hence the correct sequence is divide, multiply, +, -, =.
