sharpe669 said:I think the number in the ten's place is a 9 and the number in the thousands place is a 3 but i cant get a number to equal 27 and be a odd number. This is my sons math homework and Im not real sure what the number is
sharpe669 said:This seems extremely hard for 4th grade math. Im not sure how to explain this to my son or how to show him how to figure this out.Could someone please point me in the right direction and help me solve this problem. All i could come up with is 3w9x = 12 27-12=15 I couldn't figure out two odd numbers that equal 15 without using 3 or 9 so im questioning wether 3 and 9 is correct or not
sharpe669 said:yes I read your response but I dont understand how the number is odd and the digits add up to 27
sharpe669 said:I just cant figure out what the four digits are that equal 27
sharpe669 said:But the problem says that the number is odd how is 8 odd
Means the 4digit number ends with 1 or 3 or 5 or 7 or 9...sharpe669 said:A number has 4 digits...... The number is odd....
