Which of the following options is the closest approximate value which will come in place of question mark (?) in the following equation?
44.999÷8.998+23.996÷11.998-7.009+8.002×1.998=?

Correct option is D

Given:

Equation 44.999÷8.998+23.996÷11.998-7.009+8.002×1.998=?

Concept used:

​$$\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \textbf{Operation preference wise} & \textbf{Symbol} \\\hline Brackets &[],{}, () \\ \hline Orders, of & (power), √ (root) , of \\ \hline Division& ÷ \\ \hline Multiplication & × \\ \hline Addition & + \\ \hline Subtraction & - \\\hline \end{array}$$

Solution:

= 44.999÷8.998+23.996÷11.998-7.009+8.002×1.998=?

= 5 + 2-7.009 +8.002×1.998

= 5+2−7.009+16

= 7 −7.009+ 16

= −0.009 + 16

= 15.991

So, the closest approximate value for the given equation is 16

Thus, correct option is (d)
