For homework I must use the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,and 9 in that order with any of the 4 operations (+,-,*,/) and the problem must equal 100. I cannot figure it out and it is due tommorow!!!! Please help!!!
If you really want an A, experiment with these numbers until you find the solution. It may take you an hour or so -- but I'm sure you can do it.
I DON'T KNOW AN ANSWER SORRY
To solve this problem, we need to find a sequence of mathematical operations using the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 in that order that equals 100.
Here's a possible solution:
1. Start with the number 1. (1)
2. Multiply it by 2. (1 * 2 = 2)
3. Add 3. (2 + 3 = 5)
4. Multiply by 4. (5 * 4 = 20)
5. Subtract 5. (20 - 5 = 15)
6. Multiply by 6. (15 * 6 = 90)
7. Add 7. (90 + 7 = 97)
8. Divide by 8. (97 / 8 = 12.125)
9. Add 9. (12.125 + 9 = 21.125)
10. Finally, multiply by 9 to get 100. (21.125 * 9 = 100)
So the sequence of operations using the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 in that order, which equals 100, is:
1 * 2 + 3 * 4 - 5 * 6 + 7 / 8 + 9 * 9 = 100
Note: There might be other possible solutions as well, so you can try different combinations and operations until you find one that equals 100.
