Question

Drag each number from the box to complete the equations that follow. Each number may be used once,more than once, or not at all.12894(36:)--(36:= 5X3)-= 12

Answer 1

Notice that:

$\begin{gathered} 5=9-4, \\ 36\div4=9, \\ 36\div9=4. \end{gathered}$

Therefore:

$5=9-4=36\div4-36\div9.$

Also, notice that:

$3\times8=24=12+12.$

Therefore:

$12=12+12-12=3\times8-12.$

Answer:

$\begin{gathered} (36\div4)-(36\div9)=5, \\ (8\times3)-12=12. \end{gathered}$
