Insert the +,-,x,/ or parentheses between the numbers to find the total. How mant way?
1_2_3_4_5_6_7_8_9 = 60
Thanks
Anyone help?
The only one I get is
1+2+3-4+5+6+7*8-9 = 60
To find the total of 60 by inserting the +, -, x, / or parentheses between the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, there are several ways to achieve this. Here are a few possible expressions:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 × 9 = 60
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 × 8 + 9 = 60
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 × (7 + 8 + 9) = 60
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 × (6 + 7 + 8 + 9) = 60
1 + 2 × 3 + 4 × 5 × (6 + 7 + 8 + 9) = 60
This is not an exhaustive list, and there may be other combinations that also yield a total of 60. The key is to experiment with different operations and prioritize the use of parentheses to control the order of operations.
