I need help writing an expression using only the numbers 60, 9 ,3 ,27 ,2

Somehow, I think there must be MORE to the question.

Are there some rules for your expression? Any particular operations it should involve?

60 + 9 + 3 + 27 + 2

is certainly AN expression involving only the numbers specified, but I strongly suspect that there's MORE to the question than we have been told.

Hello, nmw!

Write an expression using only the numbers 60, 9, 3, 27, 2.

\(\displaystyle \text{How about: }\:\begin{Bmatrix} 60 + 9 + 3 + 27 \:\ne\:2 \\ 2+3+9+27 \:<\:60 \end{Bmatrix}\)

\(\displaystyle \text{But seriously: }\60 \div 3) + (9 - 2) \:=\:27\)

That's right that the original poster doesn't give the full problem
and evidently typed "expression" instead of "equation."

So I would state that the following does not really count,
because what am I really responding to?


\(\displaystyle 60 - 9 + 3 = 27(2)\)
