  1. Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to replace * signs and to balance the following equation
    8 * 8 * 1 * 7 = 8

    From option (c),
    8 * 8 * 1 * 7 = 8
    ⇒ 8 ÷ 8 x 1 + 7 = 8
    ∴ 8 = 8

    Correct Option: C

    From option (c),
    8 * 8 * 1 * 7 = 8
    ⇒ 8 ÷ 8 x 1 + 7 = 8
    ∴ 8 = 8
