Time for MATH MINUTE! (provide your favorite theme music here).  Get out your paper & pencil, because I have a new puzzle for you!!


RESPONSES PUZZLE #83 Number Play?

 

A.    One solution is: (5 + 5)x5 + 5 = 55.

       Did you find another way to do it?    

 

B.    There are several ways to work this puzzle, one is:

       3x6 + 6 – 3 = 21

       How about this solution:    

       (3 + 3/6)x6 = 21?

       Can you come up with another solution?

 

       Did you get the Bonus Puzzles?

       Since they were announced later I will leave them out there for a while longer.

       See below if you need to peek.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

       For the Part A Bonus:

       30 = (5 + (5/5))x5

 

       For the Part B Bonus:

       24 = (3 +(3/7))x7

 

 

       Have fun!
