Question:

Which two numbers should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?

8 × 9 ÷ 4 + 5 - 3 = 2

Options:

1.   8 and 4
2.   2 and 5
3.   3 and 9
4.   9 and 2

Answer:

Option 3: 3 and 9

Explanation:

Let's analyze the given equation:

8 × 9 ÷ 4 + 5 - 3 = 2

Currently, the equation is incorrect. To make it correct, we need to interchange the 3 and 9.

So, the correct equation would be:

8 × 3 ÷ 4 + 5 - 9 = 2

Now, let's solve the equation:

24 ÷ 4 + 5 - 9 = 2

6 + 5 - 9 = 2

11 - 9 = 2

So, after interchanging the numbers, the equation equal 2. Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
