Question

I am an odd 4-digit number between 5,000 and 5,999. The digit in the thousands place is half

of the smallest 2-digit number and the digit in the tens place is a multiple of 4, greater than 4. The
digit in the hundreds place is the greatest 1-digit number and the digit in the ones place is 2 less
than the hundreds digit. What number am I?

Answer 1

You are 5,987. 5 in the thousands place because you are a number in the 5,000s, and also the smallest 2 digit number divided 2 makes 5. 9 in the hundreds place because the biggest 1 digit number is 9. 8 in the tens place because the only single digit number that is a multiple of 4, but not 4, is 8. 7 in the ones place because 9 is the hundreds place, minus 2 is 7.
