write a five digit number(s) that fits each description. use only the digits that the athletes are wearing. use each digit only once in each answer.
The digits on athletes are: 4,1,8,3,6
find the least number with 1 in the ones place and 6 in the thousandths place.
It's your turn now. I'll be glad to check your answer.
To find the least number with 1 in the ones place and 6 in the thousandths place using the digits 4, 1, 8, 3, and 6 only once in each answer, we can follow these steps:
1. Since 1 needs to be in the ones place, we start by placing it there: _ _ _ _ 1.
2. Next, we need to place 6 in the thousandths place. Therefore, the number becomes _ _ _ 6 1.
3. Now, we have three remaining digits: 4, 8, and 3.
4. To minimize the number further, we should choose the smallest available digit for the thousands place, which is 3. The number is now _ _ 3 6 1.
5. We have two digits left: 4 and 8.
6. To minimize the number even more, we should choose the smaller of the two digits for the hundreds place, which is 4. The number becomes _ 4 3 6 1.
7. Finally, we place the remaining digit, 8, in the tens place. The least number with 1 in the ones place and 6 in the thousandths place using the given digits is 8 4 3 6 1.
So, the five-digit number that fits the description is 84361.
