Question 6. I am an odd number. Take away one letter and I become even. What number am I?
The word "seven" is an odd number. If we remove the letter "s" from "seven", it becomes "even", which is an even number.
To solve this riddle, we need to find an odd number that becomes even when one letter is removed. Let's break it down step by step:
Step 1: Start by listing odd numbers, considering that odd numbers typically end in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9. Some examples are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and so on.
Step 2: Next, remove one letter from each of these numbers and check if the resulting word represents an even number.
By following step 2, we can see that when we remove the letter "N" from "nine," it becomes "ie," which doesn't represent a number.
Therefore, the given riddle does not have a valid solution based on its current wording.
To solve this riddle, let's break it down step by step. The riddle states, "I am an odd number. Take away one letter, and I become even. What number am I?"
First, let's understand the clue "I am an odd number." This tells us that the number we are looking for is an odd number.
Next, the riddle says, "Take away one letter, and I become even." This implies that by removing one letter from the word representing the odd number, we will form a word meaning "even."
Now let's think about a word representing an odd number that, when we remove one letter, becomes a word meaning "even". The word that comes to mind is "seven".
By removing the letter 's', we are left with the word "even", which represents an even number.
Therefore, the answer to the riddle is "seven".
