The Problem:
Add any standard arithmetic signs that makes this equation true.
3 1 3 6 = 8
The Solution/Explanation:
This is definitely a question with more than one answer. We can start with simple plus signs and division signs.
( 3 + 1 ) / ( 3 / 6 ) = 8
Or, something a little more complex:
( ( 3 + 1 ) / 3 ) * 6 = 8
Why not throw in some saucy square root signs?
3 - 1 + sqrt ( 3 6 ) = 8
sqrt ( 3 - 1 ) / ( 3 / 6 ) = sqrt ( 8 )
Can you think of any other creative answers?
