Using the numbers 2,0,2,3 IN ORDER create expressions that are equivalent to 9
1. (2 + 2) * 2 + 3 = 9
2. 2 * 0 + 2 * 3 + 2 = 9
3. 20 / 2 + 3 - 2 = 9
4. 2 * 2 * 2 + 3 - 0 = 9
5. 2 + 2 + (3 * 2) = 9
To create expressions using the numbers 2, 0, 2, 3 in order that are equivalent to 9, we can use the following operations:
1. Addition and subtraction:
- (2 + 0 + 2) + 3 = 7 + 3 = 10
- (2 + 0) + (2 + 3) = 2 + 2 + 3 = 7
- 2 + (0 + 2 + 3) = 2 + 5 = 7
- (2 + 0) + 2 + 3 = 2 + 2 + 3 = 7
2. Multiplication and division:
- (2 * 0) + (2 * 3) = 0 + 6 = 6
- 2 * (0 + 2 + 3) = 2 * 5 = 10
- (2 * 0) + 2 + 3 = 0 + 2 + 3 = 5
- 2 * (0 + 2) + 3 = 2 * 2 + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7
Remember that the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS) must still be followed, so multiplication and division take precedence over addition and subtraction.
