Let’s solve this step by step.
We have a multiplication table with icons representing numbers. The rows and columns are labeled with icons, and each cell inside the grid is the product of the row icon and column icon.
The headers (top and left) are:
Top row (columns):
- Potion bottle
- 2
- Zombie hand
Left column (rows):
- Potion bottle
- Zombie hand
- Bat
So the grid looks like this:
Row 1 (Potion bottle × columns):
- Potion × Potion = 1
- Potion × 2 = Lips
- Potion × Zombie hand = Zombie hand
Row 2 (Zombie hand × columns):
- Zombie hand × Potion = 3
- Zombie hand × 2 = Bat
- Zombie hand × Zombie hand = 9
Row 3 (Bat × columns):
- Bat × Potion = Bat
- Bat × 2 = 12
- Bat × Zombie hand = Moon
---
Let’s assign variables to make it easier:
Let:
P = Potion bottle
Z = Zombie hand
B = Bat
L = Lips
M = Moon
From Row 1, Column 1:
P × P = 1 → So P² = 1 → P = 1 (since we’re dealing with positive numbers in multiplication tables like this)
✔ So
Potion bottle = 1
Now, from Row 2, Column 1:
Z × P = 3 → Z × 1 = 3 → Z = 3
✔ So
Zombie hand = 3
Check Row 2, Column 3:
Z × Z = 9 → 3 × 3 = 9 → Correct!
Row 2, Column 2:
Z × 2 = B → 3 × 2 = 6 → So
Bat = 6
Check Row 3, Column 2:
B × 2 = 12 → 6 × 2 = 12 → Correct!
Row 3, Column 1:
B × P = B → 6 × 1 = 6 → Which matches the Bat icon → Correct!
Row 1, Column 2:
P × 2 = L → 1 × 2 = 2 → So
Lips = 2
Row 1, Column 3:
P × Z = Z → 1 × 3 = 3 → Which is the Zombie hand → Correct!
Row 3, Column 3:
B × Z = M → 6 × 3 = 18 → So
Moon = 18
---
Final values:
- Potion bottle = 1
- Zombie hand = 3
- Bat = 6
- Lips = 2
- Moon = 18
Final Answer:
1, 3, 6, 2, 18
