place the operation signs (+,-,x, divide) in the order that makes each sentence true
18__6__2=15
18 - (6/2) = 15
Thank you DrBob222 I am having lots of problems with this homework
the sum of the items in a set of data divided by the number of items in the set also called a average
To find the correct order of operation signs, we can systematically go through the options.
Starting with addition (+), we have:
18 + 6 + 2 = 26, which is not equal to 15.
Next, we try subtraction (-):
18 - 6 - 2 = 10, which is also not equal to 15.
Moving on to multiplication (x):
18 x 6 x 2 = 216, which is not equal to 15.
Lastly, we attempt division (÷):
18 ÷ 6 ÷ 2 = 1.5, which is not equal to 15.
None of the individual operations lead to the desired result of 15. Therefore, it seems there might be a typo or error in the question.
