How do you make this true
Using 48, 6, 2, and 5 =18 by using (+, -, x, or /)
since 18 = 8+10,
48/6 + 2*5 = 18
I had that as well, but I wasn't sure if you could break it down that way. I guess we will find out
To make the equation using the numbers 48, 6, 2, and 5 equal to 18 using addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (x), or division (/), we need to determine the appropriate combination of operations.
Let's go through the possibilities:
1. Addition (+):
48 + 6 + 2 + 5 = 61 (not equal to 18)
2. Subtraction (-):
48 - 6 - 2 - 5 = 35 (not equal to 18)
3. Multiplication (x):
48 x 6 x 2 x 5 = 1440 (not equal to 18)
4. Division (/):
Since division doesn't provide a clear solution with the given numbers, we'll skip this operation.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to make the equation using the numbers 48, 6, 2, and 5 equal to 18 with the given operations.
