how can you get the numbers 3, 14, 13, 12, and 11 to answer 16

Question

You can use any symbols in math, but only those numbers and only those numbers once.

Answer 1

3, 11, 12, 13, and 14 = 16, huh? I think I got it.

 

12 / 3 = 4

13 - 11 = 2

14 + 4 - 2 = 16

 

Or, fully written out mathematically:

14 + 12/3 - (13 - 11) = 16
