Ava picks a number greater than 3 tens 6 ones. The number is less than 52. It has more than 6 ones. What could the number be?

reater than 3 tens 6 ones" probably means greater than 36, so maybe it's 37, 38, 39, and so on, up to 51. "It has more than 6 ones" probably means that it's got 7 or more in the ones place. so 40, 41, up to 46, and 50 and 51 can't be it. So we're left with 37, 38, 39, 47, 48, or 49 as possibilities for what Ava picked.

"has more than 6 ones" meaning that it's got 7 or more in the one's place.
So 40, 41, up to 46, and 50 and 51 can't be it.

So, that leaves us with 37, 38, 39, 47, 48, or 49 as possibilities for what Ava picked.

Hope this helped! (:
