How do you get 24 from 9, 6, 11 and 3?
Fundamental operations are the basics of mathematics. These include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Answer: (11 - 6) × 3 + 9 = 24 or [(11 - 9) + 6] × 3 = 24
There can be two solutions to this question. Let's have a look at the explanation.
Explanation:
We use the fundamental operations on the numbers to obtain the given result 24.
i) First, we subtract 6 from 11. Then, we multiply the result by 3 and then add 9 to obtain the final result.
⇒ 11 - 6 = 5
⇒ (11 - 6) × 3 = 15
⇒ (11 - 6) × 3 + 9 = 24
ii) First, we subtract 9 from 11. Then we add 6 to the result. Then, we multiply the result by 3.
⇒ 11 - 9 = 2
⇒ (11 - 9) + 6 = 8
⇒ [(11 - 9) + 6] × 3 = 24
Hence, two solutions are possible: (11 - 6) × 3 + 9 = 24 or [(11 - 9) + 6] × 3 = 24.
