Math Riddle Answers
You must have figured out the answer by now.
If you have, congratulations are in order. We knew you could do this.
Still, we are going to reveal the answer so you can cross-check your answer.
Riddle #1
The answer is 20. Tom will have to paint the number 8 20 times.
(8, 18, 28, 38, 48, 58, 68, 78, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 98).
Riddle #2
The answer is 11 cartons.
As, 4×10= 40 boxes
7×8 = 56 boxes
40+56= 96 boxes
Hence, 11 cartons.
Riddle #3
The number is 141.
The second digit of the number 4 is four times bigger than the third digit. (4=1×4)
The first digit 1 is three less than the second digit 4 (1=4-3)
Riddle #4
The answer is zero (0). As 0 x any number is always 0.
Riddle #5
Let the number be x.
So according to the question, {(x+x) x 4}/8 = x
=> (2x x 4)/8 = x
=> 8x/8= x
=> x=x
Hence, the number could be any number, as the above equation holds true in all cases.
