Which two signs need to be interchanged to make the following equation correct?
56÷28−72+18×6=60

  1. A
    − and +
  2. B
    ÷ and +
  3. C
    ÷ and −
  4. D
    + and ×

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's check Option A (interchanging − and +):
The equation becomes:

56÷28+72−18×6=60
Applying BODMAS rule:

Division: 56÷28=2
Gauth

Multiplication: 18×6=108

Substitute back into the equation:

2+72−108=74−108=−34

=60
Let's check Option B (interchanging ÷ and +):
The equation becomes:

56+28−72÷18×6=60
Applying BODMAS rule:

Division: 72÷18=4
Filo

Multiplication: 4×6=24

Addition and Subtraction:

56+28−24=84−24=60
Since 60=60, interchanging ÷ and + makes the equation correct.
