Question: 1.Make up as many expressions with numbers (no variables) as you can from three numbers 5, 7 and 8. Every number should be used not more than once. Use only addition, subtraction and multiplication.
(Hint: Three possible expressions are 5 + (8 – 7), 5 – (8 – 7), (5 x 8) + 7 make the other expressions)
Answer :
(a) (8 x 5) – 7
(b) (8 + 5) – 7
(c) (8 x 7) – 5
(d) (8 + 7) – 5
(e) 5 x (7 + 8)
(f) 5 + (7 x 8)
(g) 5 + (8 – 7)
(h) 5 – (7 + 8
Question: 2.Which out of the following are expressions with numbers only:
