Jason has 4 tiles. Each tile has a number printed on it. The numbers are 2,3,6, and 8. A decimal number is formed using the tiles and the clues. Be a math detective and find the number.
Clues: digit in tens place is the greatest number. digit in tenths is less than the digit in the hundredths place. digit in ones place is greater than the digit in the hundredths place
8 >& . <& &
so & is middle of remaining
8 >& . <& 3
so
86.23
The answer is 86.23
The answer is 86.23 and I am ten and I in fifth grade
the answer is 86.23
The Answer is 86.23.
86.23
86 .23
To find the correct decimal number using the given clues and tiles, let's analyze each clue one by one:
1. "The digit in the tens place is the greatest number."
Since the given numbers are 2, 3, 6, and 8, the greatest number is 8. Therefore, the tens place of the decimal number is 8.
2. "The digit in the tenths place is less than the digit in the hundredths place."
Since the given numbers are 2, 3, 6, and 8, we need to assign the least value among them to the tenths place, as it should be less than the digit in the hundredths place. Therefore, the tenths place of the decimal number is 2.
3. "The digit in the ones place is greater than the digit in the hundredths place."
Considering the same set of numbers, we need to assign a value greater than the least value (which is in the hundredths place, as determined by clue 2) to the ones place. Therefore, the ones place of the decimal number is 3.
Now, let's put all the pieces together. Based on the clues, we have determined that the tens place is 8, the tenths place is 2, and the ones place is 3. The only remaining digit is the hundredths place, for which the clue does not provide any specific value.
Since the clue does not specify the digit in the hundredths place, we can use the remaining number, which is 6, for it. Therefore, the decimal number that can be formed using the given tiles and clues is 82.36.
