  1. 1.) I will try guess and check

    a has to equal the same as the other a
    b has to equal the same as the other b
    c has to equal the same as the other c

    a+b+c=z
    a×b×c=z

    1+2+3=6
    1×2×3=6

    They both equal the same.
    a=1
    b=2
    c=3

  3. 1.) 1+2+3=6
    1*2*3=6
    2.)add 42 each time so therefore it is 5:12
    3.) 22+21=43 also 5*8+3=43

  4. Since a b c have to equal when you add or multiple so the numbers have to be the same

    a+b+c=z
    axbxc=z

    for this the answer and the numbers have to be the same for letter

    a and a are same
    b and b are same
    c and c are same

    1+2+3=6
    1x2x3=6
    so the answer is the same

  5. 2:31,3:13,3:55,4:37,?

    I need to find the pattern rule to find the unknown time.

    2:13 to 3:13 is 42 mins
    3:13 to 3:55 is 42 mins
    3:55 to 4:37 is 42 mins

    The pattern rule is 42 mins

    If i add 4:37 plus 42 mins it would be 5:19

    The last time would be 5:19

  6. 1) 1+2+3=6
    1x2x3=6

    2) Add 42 each time to the watches so the final watch is 5:19

    3) 3x7+1=22 6x2+9=21 5x8+3=43 = MISSING NUMBER IS 43

  8. 1)These numbers will probably be small and consecutive because that way, we will get an equal sum and product

    A+b+c=z
    1+2+3=6

    Axbxc=z
    1x2x3=6

    This means that
    A=1
    B=2
    C=3
    Z=6

    2)
    2:31 to 3:13= 42 minutes
    3:13 to 3:55= 42 minutes
    3:55 to 4:37 = 42 minutes
    4:37+ 42 minutes= 5:19

    The last watch is 5:19

    3)in the triangle, you have to multiply the bottom to numbers and add the top.

    3x7+1=22
    6x2+9=21
    5x8+3=43

    The ?=43

  9. a b and c have to equal the other a b and c so
    1+2+3=6
    1x2x3=6

  10. 1.)1,2,3 2x3x1=6,2+3+1=6( all positive numbers
    2.)5:19 2:31,3:13,3:55,4:37,5:19
    3.)43 3x7+1=22,6x2+9=21,8x5+3

  11. 1) A+b+c=z
    A×b×c=z
    1+2+3=6
    1×2×3=6

    2)?= 5:19 formula add 42 min each time

    3) ?=43 (22+21=43 also 5×8+3=43)

  12. 2:31 to 3:13 is 42 minutes apart
    3:55 to 4:37 is 42 minutes apart

    the pattern rule for the pattern is start at 2:31 add 42 minutes each time.

    4:37 added by 42 minutes the answer will be 5:19
    so the last watches time is 5:19

  13. The pattern is multiply the bottom numbers then add the top.

    3×7 is 21+1 is 22
    6×2 is 12+9 is 21
    5×8 is 40+3 is 43

    The last triangle would be 43

  14. 2) each time it adds 42 so 4:37 + 42 =

    ReplyDelete
  15. you need to add the 2 numbers that are in the bottom and then add the top number in order to get the answer

    3x7=21+1= 22
    6x2=12+9= 21
    5x8=40+3= 43

    so when you replace the question mark your answer is 43

  16. 1.)a=1 b=2 c=3
    Therefor 1+2+3=6 1*2*3=6

    2.) To get the answer you need to add 42 each time so..
    4:37+42= 5:19

    3.) 22+21= 43 therefor the question mark is 43

  17. 1) A+b+C=Z
    AxBxC=Z

    A=1
    B=2
    C=3

    1+2+3=6
    1x2x3=6

    2) Watch 1= 2:31
    Watch 2= 3:31
    Watch 3= 3:55
    Watch 4= 4:37
    Watch 5= ????

    The time between Watch 1 and Watch 2 is 42 minutes
    and the time between Watch 3 and 4 is also 42 minutes. so if you add 42 minutes to Watch 4, you would get 5:19. The missing time is 5:19

    3) Multiply the bottom 2 numbers and add the top number of the triangle

    Triangle 1= 7x3+1=22
    Triangle 2= 6x2+9=21
    Triangle 3= 5x8+3=43

    The missing number in triangle 3 is 43

  18. Question 1


    Both amounts have to be multiplied or added by the factors they have, but they have to have atleast 3 factors to work, meaning all composite numbers

    4: 4, 1, 2

    A+B+C=Z
    AxBxC=Z

    4+1+2= 7
    4x1x2= 8
    No, this numbers factors don't work in this problem

    6: 1,2,3,6
    Since there are 4 factors to 6, we will just be using the first three, not 6.
    A+B+C=Z
    AxBxC=Z

    1+2+3=6
    1x2x3=6
    This solution works
    Therefore the answer is the numbers 1, 2, 3, which both make six when multiplied or added together


    Question 2

    We have to find the difference between each time on the watch to determine the pattern

    2:31-3:13= 42
    3:13-3:55= 42
    3:55-4:37= 42

    So far we know that the difference of time between each watch (consecutively) is 42, so then the last watch should also be 42 minutes after the previous watch.

    4:37+42= 5:19

    The next watch should be on 5:19


    Third question

    If you look at the questions numbers closely, you can see that the bottom numbers are multiplied and the top number is added to become the sum.

    Example-
    3x7=21
    21+1= 22

    6x2=12
    12+9=21

    So therefore, if you apply the same rule to the mystery sum,

    5x8=40
    40+3=43

    The number that replaces the question mark is 43.

  19. 1)
    1+2+3=6
    1x2x3=6

    2) You add the number 42min to every number. so, 4:37 + 42min= 5:19. the missing number is 5:19

    3) to find the answer you add the 2 numbers that make the base of the triangle and then you add the top. so, 5x8+3=43
    the missing number is 43

  22. Question 1:
    Answer 6;
    1+2+3=6
    1×2×3=6
    The answer is 1, 2, 3.

    Question 2:
    There is a 42 minute difference between every number so;
    4:37 + 42 mins= 4:59
    The answer is 4:59.

    Question 3:
    To get the answer you need to multiply the 2 numbers on the bottom and add the number on the top. So;
    5×8+3=43
    The answer is 43.

  23. 1. 1+2+3=6
    1x2x3=6
    a+b+c=z
    2.
    2:31 + 42= 3:13
    3:13+42=3:55
    3:55+42=4:37
    There is a 42 minute difference between each of the times .
    4:37+42=5:19
    The last watch should show 5:19

    3. 5x8=40
    40+3=43
    43 is the number which replaces the question mark.
