Make the sum of the numbers across equal the sum of the numbers down. 7 5 1 9 3
What is down?
5719 3
To make the sum of the numbers across equal the sum of the numbers down, we need to find the missing numbers in the grid you provided. Let's label the positions in the grid with letters for the columns and numbers for the rows:
A B C
1 7 5 1
2 9 3 ?
To find the missing number in the grid, we can use the rule that the sum of the numbers across should equal the sum of the numbers down. Let's calculate these sums:
Sum of numbers across: 7 + 5 + 1 = 13
Sum of numbers down: 7 + 9 = 16
Since the sum of the numbers across is less than the sum of the numbers down, we know that the missing number should make the sum of the numbers across greater.
To make the sum of the numbers equal, we need to find a number that, when added to 13 (the sum of the numbers across), equals 16 (the sum of the numbers down).
16 - 13 = 3
Therefore, the missing number in position C2 is 3. The completed grid would look like this:
A B C
1 7 5 1
2 9 3 3
