Mathematical Operations Quiz

Mathematical Operations and Symbols

• P represents addition ('+').
• Q represents subtraction ('-').
• R represents multiplication ('×').
• S represents division ('÷').

Statement Evaluation

• Each mathematical statement needs evaluation based on the order of operations (BODMAS/BIDMAS: Brackets, Orders, Division and Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction).

Statements to Analyze

• 16 R 12 P 49 S 7 Q 9 = 200

  • Translates to 16 × 12 + 49 ÷ 7 - 9.
  • Calculate: 192 + 7 - 9 → 190.

• 32 S 8 R 9 = 160 Q 12 R 12

  • Translates to 32 ÷ 8 × 9 = 160 - 12 × 12.
  • Calculate: 4 × 9 = 36; 160 - 144 = 16; 36 ≠ 16.

• 8 R 8 P 8 S 8 Q 8 = 57

  • Translates to 8 × 8 + 8 ÷ 8 - 8.
  • Calculate: 64 + 1 - 8 = 57, which is correct.

• 36 R 4 S 8 Q 7 P 4 = 10

  • Translates to 36 × 4 ÷ 8 - 7 + 4.
  • Calculate: 144 ÷ 8 - 7 + 4 = 18 - 7 + 4 = 15, which is incorrect.

Conclusion

• Out of the statements, 8 R 8 P 8 S 8 Q 8 = 57 is accurate.
• The other statements do not equate to the provided result, indicating errors in those calculations.
