my work sheeet said use each of the symbols add,subtract,multiply,and divide to make thte following math sentence true.
12___ 3___ 7___ 1____ 11=0
12/3+7*1-11=0
Alyssa thanks!!!!!!
no problem ;)
The average of 5 different whole numbers is 5. what is the largest possible value of any of these numbers?
To make the math sentence true, you need to fill in the blanks with the symbols add, subtract, multiply, and divide in the correct order.
Let's go step by step:
1. Start by filling in the first blank. Since we want the sum to equal 0, we can eliminate the multiply and divide symbols since they will not give us a sum of 0. We are left with the add and subtract symbols.
2. Looking at the numbers 12 and 3, we need to find an operation that will result in a difference of 9 (12 - 3 = 9). Therefore, we can fill in the first blank with the subtract symbol (-).
The equation now looks like this: 12 - 3 ___ 7 ___ 1 ___ 11 = 0.
3. Now we need to decide whether to use the add or subtract symbol in the second blank. Looking at the numbers 7 and 1, we can subtract 1 from 7 to get 6 or add 1 to 7 to get 8. Since we need to continue with subtraction to get a sum of 0, we will fill in the second blank with the subtract symbol (-).
The equation now looks like this: 12 - 3 - 7 ___ 1 ___ 11 = 0.
4. For the third blank, we need to find an operation that will result in a difference of 10 (7 - 10 = -3). Therefore, we can fill in the third blank with the subtract symbol (-).
The equation now looks like this: 12 - 3 - 7 - 10 ___ 1 ___ 11 = 0.
5. Lastly, for the fourth and final blank, we need to find an operation that will result in a sum of 11 (10 + 1 = 11). Therefore, we can fill in the fourth blank with the add symbol (+).
The final equation that makes the math sentence true is: 12 - 3 - 7 - 10 + 1 + 11 = 0.
And the solution is indeed true as the sum of all the numbers is 0.
