Question

Tully draws four 10 - sticks and less than ten circles to make a number. Write the numbers Tully could make

Answer 1

The numbers Tully can make are 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48 and 49

Solution:

Given that Tully draws 4 sticks , each one with value 10

This means that the numbers will be of the set of four tens: 4(10) = 40

Also given that less than ten circles to make a number

We assume that the circles have each value of 1 unit

For circle, Therefore the possible units are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Combining together sticks and circles, the possible numbers are given as follows:

sticks + circle :

`4(10) + 1 = 41\\\\4(10) + 2 = 42\\\\4(10) + 3 = 43\\\\4(10) + 4 = 44\\\\4(10) + 5 = 45\\\\4(10) + 6 = 46\\\\4(10) + 7 = 47\\\\4(10) + 8 = 48\\\\4(10) + 9 = 49\\\\`

Therefore, the numbers Tully can make are 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48 and 49
