One edition of Alice's Adventure in WonderLand has 352 pages.How Many 4's were used in the number of pages?

The answer I came up with was 356.

Please and thank-you

Ok, how many page numbers have one four in them and how many have two in them. Of course, none have three fours, so you will have to devise a counting system here.
Here's a method:
You'll need to consider one 4 in the one's place then one four in the ten's place. For a single 4 in the one's place start at 4 and count by 10's until you reach 352.
For a single 4 in the ten's count the 40's, 140's, 240's, 340's
It should be easy to see that the only page numbers with two 4's are 44,144,244,344. Be careful not to double count the one's with two 4's.

How could you get 356 if there's only 352 pages to start with?? Am I misunderstanding the question or something?

75 4's

To determine the number of pages that contain the digit 4, we can break down the problem into analyzing the occurrences of the digit 4 in each individual place value (ones, tens, hundreds).

Here's how we can approach this:

1. Ones place value:
To find the number of page numbers that have a 4 in the ones place, we can count from 4 to 352 in increments of 10. Here's how it looks: 4, 14, 24, ..., 344. Since the numbers go up to 344, there are a total of 34 page numbers with a 4 in the ones place.

2. Tens place value:
To find the number of page numbers that have a 4 in the tens place, we can count the number of times the digit 4 appears in this position in the range from 40 to 350. Here's how it looks: 44, 54, ..., 344. By counting multiples of 10, the pattern repeats itself every 10 numbers. Since the numbers go up to 344, there are a total of 34 page numbers with a 4 in the tens place.

3. Hundreds place value:
Since the edition of the book has only 352 pages, there won't be any page numbers with a 4 in the hundreds place.

Now let's add up the numbers we found:

The number of page numbers with a 4 in the ones place: 34
The number of page numbers with a 4 in the tens place: 34
The number of page numbers with a 4 in the hundreds place: 0

Adding them up: 34 + 34 + 0 = 68

Therefore, there are a total of 68 page numbers that contain the digit 4, not 356. It seems there might be an error in your calculation.
