64_ x 5_ = 3_17_

Fill in the blanks and explain how it is done!!

 

you are joking aint you?
i know they come home with some right shitty maths.but that is taking the piss

 

641 x 58

Mathematics

 

pmsl,i bet you just sat there with a calculator doing that bill
i know i just was 640x50, 641x50, 642x50 and so on

 

how old was the child?

 

Oops, forgot to fill in the answer 37178

 

The child is 9!!

I'm sure there is a mathematical method for working it out, but I can't figure it out!!

 

Bill you are a ferkin clever bloke.

How do you get to that?

 

sat there doing what i did i bet, fpmsl
but he bet me too it

 

its only a max of a 100 different combo's

 

Bit tough for a nine year that one saying that its a bit tough for a 33yr old

 

Come one Bill, spill the beans!!

 

64 / 5 = 12.8

Therefore 1st missing number is 1
2nd missing number is 8 as it says

Simple maths

 

 

you lost me

 

thats dont work out nuts well it does on that one

but another one example

467x 51=23817
46_ x 5_ =2_81_
46/5 +9.2
so how the fook does that work

 

dont forget the kids had a lesson on the formular and on how to work em out not just had it shuved under there nose and told to work it out lol the homeworks just to make sure they understood what the lessons about. but yes in life where the hell would u need to use that of maths!?? unless ur in tescos and they priced everything up dodgy

 

lol at pops trying it

Was posted just to confuse the issue
Like you said it was okay for that one only

 

fpmsl
well i consider myself half decent at shit like that.but that baffled the living daylights out of me nuts

 

I can't remember the formula, but there's only one possible combination that gives the same number in the answer:

64x X 5y = 3z17z

Might be that z=y-x

 

Rich, remember the child is only 9 and that I must explain to her how to arrive at the answer.......

 

If the missing number in the second one is larger than the missing number in the first one, then the big one minus the small one will equal the missing number in the answer.

e.g 242 x 68 = 16456

Therefore 8 - 2 = 6

Only applies where the number in the answer is the same.

Can I leave the class now miss, as I have to go to the toilet?

 

Also only works with even numbers.........

 

all well and good rich
but the one christian posted doesn't though

 

Oh shit - good point

Too much drinking

 

come on bill,please tell me you sat and went though all the number combo's like i did

 

C'mon bill enlighten us thickos

 

I've got a bloody maths degree and I've no idea what that question is trying to achieve!

I only graduated last year too!

Trial and error is even used in some degree level mathematics as it's the quickest way to solve some things!

 

Bill? Tell us it wasn't trial and error??

 

your poor kid.....bloody hell.....

 

I got an A Level in Maths and cant see how Bill got it.

 

Ditto, and I can't see any pattern there either!

 

lol,im telling you,he sat there doing it like i said
640x50,641x50,642x50 until he got the right answer
i got up to 644x55 and thats after about fifty goes

 

I bet he cheated and downloaded the year 9 maths teachers text book with all the answers in it :

 

Bill Vorderman

Maybe he just knows his 641 times table too well

 

i got a c in gcse maths after i got a d

 

It only takes about a minute if you use Excel!

 

LMAO

 

Just a thought but what the hell relevence is this going to have for a child in the real world?

Seems like all you learn in school isn't worth shit, I can't say that anything I learnt in school has helped me in life so far...

 

its just gotta be trial and error, and it must be teaching the child trial and error
