Step-by-step solution for: Free Math Puzzles — Mashup Math
To find the value of each icon, we need to look at how the rows and columns interact. This is a multiplication table. That means:
Value of Row Icon × Value of Column Icon = Number in the Box
Let's solve it step-by-step using the numbers already given in the grid.
Step 1: Find the value of the Potion Bottle
Look at the top-left box where the Potion Bottle row meets the Potion Bottle column. The number is 1.
* Equation: Potion × Potion = 1
* Since $1 \times 1 = 1$, the Potion Bottle = 1.
Step 2: Find the value of the Green Hand
Look at the second row (Green Hand) and the first column (Potion Bottle). The number is 3.
* We know the Potion Bottle is 1.
* Equation: Green Hand × 1 = 3
* Therefore, the Green Hand = 3.
*(Check: Look at the Green Hand row and Green Hand column. The box says 9. Does $3 \times 3 = 9$? Yes! This confirms our answer.)*
Step 3: Find the value of the Bat
Look at the bottom row (Bat) and the middle column (which has the number 2 at the top). The number in the box is 12.
* Equation: Bat × 2 = 12
* To find the Bat, we divide 12 by 2.
* Therefore, the Bat = 6.
*(Check: Look at the Bat row and Potion column. The box shows a Bat icon. If Bat is 6 and Potion is 1, then $6 \times 1 = 6$. So the Bat icon represents the number 6. This matches.)*
Step 4: Find the value of the Vampire Lips
Look at the top row (Potion Bottle) and the middle column (Vampire Lips). The box contains the Vampire Lips icon.
* First, let's find the value of the column header "2". Wait, looking closely at the top headers:
* Header 1: Potion Bottle
* Header 2: The number 2
* Header 3: Green Hand
* Let's re-evaluate based on the headers provided above the grid.
* Column 1 Header: Potion Bottle (Value 1)
* Column 2 Header: The number 2
* Column 3 Header: Green Hand (Value 3)
Let's restart the logic with these specific column headers to be precise.
* Row 1 (Potion):
* Col 1 (Potion): Box is 1. ($1 \times 1 = 1$). Correct.
* Col 2 (Number 2): Box is Vampire Lips. So, $1 \times 2 = 2$. The Vampire Lips = 2.
* Col 3 (Green Hand): Box is Green Hand. So, $1 \times 3 = 3$. The icon represents 3. Correct.
* Row 2 (Green Hand, Value 3):
* Col 1 (Potion): Box is 3. ($3 \times 1 = 3$). Correct.
* Col 2 (Number 2): Box is Bat. So, $3 \times 2 = 6$. The Bat = 6.
* Col 3 (Green Hand): Box is 9. ($3 \times 3 = 9$). Correct.
* Row 3 (Bat, Value 6):
* Col 1 (Potion): Box is Bat. ($6 \times 1 = 6$). Correct.
* Col 2 (Number 2): Box is 12. ($6 \times 2 = 12$). Correct.
* Col 3 (Green Hand): Box is Moon. So, $6 \times 3 = 18$. The Moon = 18.
Summary of Values:
* Potion Bottle: 1
* Green Hand: 3
* Bat: 6
* Vampire Lips: 2
* Moon: 18
Final Answer:
Potion Bottle: 1
Green Hand: 3
Bat: 6
Vampire Lips: 2
Moon: 18
