) If * stands for -, /stands for +, +stands for *, then which of the following is TRUE?

A) 32/14*6+40-8=44.8
B) 14*8/6+40-8=16.8
c) 32*6/14+32-8=9.9
D) 32/6*14+32-8=18.9

I will do the first one ...

A)
32/14*6+40-8=44.8 becomes
32 + 14 - 6 * 40 - 8 = -202 which is false

Looks like - was not re-defined.

(PS. I think these are rather silly questions. I don't see the point)

You saying its silly question so why cant you answer it

To determine which statement is true based on the given symbol replacements, we need to evaluate each expression following the order of operations (parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division from left to right, and addition and subtraction from left to right). Let's go through each expression and perform the substitutions:

A) 32/14 * 6 + 40 - 8
=> 32/14 = 2.2857 (approximately) (dividing 32 by 14)
=> 2.2857 * 6 = 13.7143 (approximately) (multiplying 2.2857 by 6)
=> 13.7143 + 40 = 53.7143 (approximately) (adding 13.7143 to 40)
=> 53.7143 - 8 = 45.7143 (approximately) (subtracting 8 from 53.7143)

B) 14 * 8 / 6 + 40 - 8
=> 14 * 8 = 112 (multiplying 14 by 8)
=> 112 / 6 = 18.6667 (approximately) (dividing 112 by 6)
=> 18.6667 + 40 = 58.6667 (approximately) (adding 18.6667 to 40)
=> 58.6667 - 8 = 50.6667 (approximately) (subtracting 8 from 58.6667)

C) 32 * 6 / 14 + 32 - 8
=> 32 * 6 = 192 (multiplying 32 by 6)
=> 192 / 14 = 13.7143 (approximately) (dividing 192 by 14)
=> 13.7143 + 32 = 45.7143 (approximately) (adding 13.7143 to 32)
=> 45.7143 - 8 = 37.7143 (approximately) (subtracting 8 from 45.7143)

D) 32 / 6 * 14 + 32 - 8
=> 32 / 6 = 5.3333 (approximately) (dividing 32 by 6)
=> 5.3333 * 14 = 74.6667 (approximately) (multiplying 5.3333 by 14)
=> 74.6667 + 32 = 106.6667 (approximately) (adding 74.6667 to 32)
=> 106.6667 - 8 = 98.6667 (approximately) (subtracting 8 from 106.6667)

Based on the calculations, the statement that is true is:
D) 32/6*14+32-8=18.9

Therefore, the correct answer is D.
