Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to sequentially replace the letter Y and balance the following equation.
52 Y 13 Y 16 Y 32 Y 2
- A×,=,−,÷
- B÷,×,=,×
- C×,÷,=,−
- D÷,×,=,−
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's test each option sequentially to find the balanced equation:
Option A: ×,=,−,÷
52×13=16−32÷2
676=16−16⟹676=0(Incorrect)
Option B: ÷,×,=,×
52÷13×16=32×2
4×16=64
64=64(Correct)
Since Option B balances the equation perfectly, we don't need to check further.
Option A: ×,=,−,÷
52×13=16−32÷2
