Question

In my number, both digits are even numbers. The digit in the tens place is less than the digit in the ones place. The sum of the digits is six. My number is:

a) 42
b) 24
c) 60
d) 06

Answer 1

To find the number, list even digits and find pairs that sum to six, then ensure the tens digit is less than the ones digit. The correct number is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking for help with finding a two-digit number where both digits are even, the tens digit is less than the ones digit, and the sum of both digits is six. To solve this, we consider the possible even digits: 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8. Since the sum of the digits is six and both are even, the only possible pairs are (0,6) and (2,4). Since the tens digit must be less than the ones digit, the correct pair is (2,4). Therefore, the number is 24.
