Question

It is a 3 digit number

5 is its digit in the tens place
The digit in the hundreds place is twice as big as the digit in the ones place
EXPLAIN? what is the 3 digit number.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Start with the number being _ _ _.

It is given that the number in the tens place, or the second digit, is 5, so the number is now _ 5 _.

The tricky part, as you probably know, is the last bit of the question. Unless there are given answer choices, or if multiple answer choices are allowed, then the question is unanswerable.

But of the possible answers, they include 251, 452, 653, and 854, as 050 is simply 50, which is a 2 digit number, and 1055 is a 4 digit number, which wouldn't satisfy the 3 digit number or 5 in the tens place rules.

Overall, your possible answers are 251, 452, 653, and 854.
