Question

If '-' means '$\times$', '+' means '$÷$', '$\times$' means '+' and '$÷$' means '-', then $8+6÷4-7\times 3=?$

• A. $7\frac{1}{5}$
• B. $12$
• C. $-11\frac{1}{2}$
• D. $14$
• E. $-23\frac{2}{3}$

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

$-23\frac{2}{3}$

After substituting the symbols in the given expression the new expression will be
$8÷6-4\times 7+3$
= $\frac{4}{3}-28+3$
= $-\frac{71}{3}$ or $-23\frac{2}{3}$
Hence, option (E) is the correct answer.
