Mr. Jenson needed to hire a math tutor for his school. he placed a advertisement in the school news. He wrote tha ad in such a way as to attract the most qualifie applicants:
MATH TUTOR NEEDED
10 hours per week
if interested please call:
ABC-DEF-GHIJ
each digit of the telephne is unique.
A,C,G and H are prime numbers
F, I, and J are squear numbers
B, D, E, F and G are even numbers
C is a factor of J
A + D = E + J
What telepone number should interest applicants call???
Another math riddle!!help?
F, I, and J have to be 1,4, or 9 (perfect squares)
B,D,E,F,G are 0,2,4,6,and 8
A,C,G,H are 2,3,5,and 7
So F must be 4
Now,
C is a factor of J so C is either 2 (if J=4) or 3 (if J=9)
But J cannot be 4 since F is 4. Therefore J is 9 and C is 3.
We can then conclude that I is 1.
Now,
A + D = E + J
So
A + D = E + 9
A: 2,5,7
D: 0,2,6,8
E: 0,2,6,8
If E = 0, then A=7, D=2
If E = 2, then A=5, D=6
If E = 6, then A=7, D=8
E cannot equal 8
So G or H is definitely 2, since A cannot be.
G is even, H is not. Therefore G = 2.
Since G is 2, D and E cannot be 2.
So E = 6, and, as shown above, A = 7, and D = 8.
By process of elimination, B = 0 and H = 5.
The phone number:
603-864-2519
Looks like you'll be going up to New Hampshire to get tutored.
