Which two numbers should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
$$35 + 3 \div 3 - 5 + 1 = 40$$
$$35+\frac{3}{3}-5+1=40$$
A. 40 and 35
$$40+\frac{3}{3}-5+1=35$$
$$40+1-5+1=35$$
$$41-5+1=35$$
$$36+1=35$$
$$37=35$$
B. 1 and 5
$$35+\frac{3}{3}-5+1=40$$
$$35+\frac{3}{3}-1+5=40$$
$$35+1-1+5=40$$
$$35+0+5=40$$
$$40=40$$
C. 1 and 35
$$1+\frac{3}{3}-5+35=40$$
$$\frac{4}{3}-5+35=40$$
$$1.33-5+35=40$$
$$-3.66+35=40$$
$$31.34=40$$
D. 35 and 5
$$35+\frac{3}{3}-5+1=40$$
$$5+\frac{3}{3}-35+1=40$$
$$\frac{8}{3}-35+1=40$$
$$2.66-35+1=40$$
$$-32.33+1=40$$
$$-31.33=40$$
Hence option B is the correct answer
