| |
I am have troulbe figuring out this seemingly easy question. Given the number 5,1,1,and 1. How can I add, subtract, multipy, and/or divide these four numbers to get 24. Note that the numbers can only be used once! Thank you so much for your help! |

When I posted, I should have said, given the numbers 5, 1, 1, and 1. So yes, there are three 1's and one 5. But the numbers can only be used once! I was trying to find a way where you could use fractions, but so far I've had no luck! Also, you're not allowed to square the numbers. You can only reach 24 through addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. |

Individually the numbers can only be used once! Say for example...(5+1)=6...6*1=6...6+1=7...In that combination, I used each individual digit once. |

You may be curious to have a look at the old CTK Exchange archive.
Please do not post there.
