I'll solve this Halloween-themed math riddle worksheet step by step.
First, I need to solve all the addition and subtraction problems in the grid, then match the answers with the corresponding letters to solve the riddle "What is the ghost's favorite ride at the fair?"
Let me start by solving each math problem:
1. 4 + 6 = 10 (R)
2. 8 - 4 = 4 (U)
3. 3 + 2 = 5 (Y)
4. 9 - 2 = 7 (N)
5. 5 + 3 = 8 (C)
6. 6 - 6 = 0 (D)
7. 3 + 3 = 6 (O)
8. 8 - 7 = 1 (A)
9. 2 + 1 = 3 (G)
10. 6 - 4 = 2 (S)
Now I have the letter-to-number mapping:
- R = 10
- U = 4
- Y = 5
- N = 7
- C = 8
- D = 0
- O = 6
- A = 1
- G = 3
- S = 2
The riddle asks: "What is the ghost's favorite ride at the fair?" and provides a sequence of numbers with blanks:
2 _ 8 _ 1 _ 10 _ 5 _ - _ 3 _ 6 _ -
_ 10 _ 6 _ 4 _ 7 _ 0 _
Let me fill in the letters based on the numbers:
- 2 = S
- 8 = C
- 1 = A
- 10 = R
- 5 = Y
- 3 = G
- 6 = O
- 10 = R
- 6 = O
- 4 = U
- 7 = N
- 0 = D
So the answer is: SCARY GO ROUND
This makes sense as a Halloween-themed answer - a ghost's favorite ride at the fair would be a "Scary Go Round" (a play on "carousel" or "merry-go-round").
The ghost's favorite ride at the fair is a
Scary Go Round.
