Question

Antoinette is given a problem to solve, but the operations have been changed. Follow the given table, and help Antoinette solve the problem given below.

Problem: [9 + (5 > 7)] × [(5 + 2) > 8]

• A. 78
• B. 18
• C. 108
• D. 90

Answer 1

The correct option is D 90

The given table is:

The actual problem is:
[9 + (5 > 7)] × [(5 + 2) > 8]

By following the above table and replacing + with ×, > with +, and × with −, we get:
[9 × (5 + 7)] − [(5 × 2) + 8]

Let's solve this in two parts.

Part 1: [9 × (5 +7)]
→ 9 × 12 = 108

Part 2: [(5 × 2) + 8]
→ 10 + 8 = 18

Thus, part 1 − part 2 = 108 − 18 = 90

So, the final value is 90.
