Write a number in the box that will make this statement correct.i. (7 × 2) = ( [ ] – 6)ii. (24 ÷ 3) < (5 + [ ] ) |

Answer» i. (7 × 2) = ( [ ] – 6) The value of the expression 7 × 2 is 14, so the number in the box has to be one that gives 14 when 6 is subtracted from it. Subtracting 6 from 20 gives us 14. Therefore (7 × 2) = ( [ 20 ] – 6 ) ii. (24 ÷ 3) < (5 + [ ] ) The value of the expression 24 ÷ 3 is 8, so the number in the box has to be such that when it is added to 5, the sum is greater than 8. Now, 5 + 1 = 6, 5 + 2 = 7, 5 + 3 = 8. So the number in the box has to be greater than 3. Therefore, writing any number like 4, 5, 6 … onwards will do. It means that this problem has several (24 ÷ 3) < (5 + [ 4 ] ) is one among many Even if that is true, writing only one answer will be enough to complete this statement. |
