Explanation:
Let’s solve each puzzle step by step.
Puzzle (C):
1. First equation:
Candle + Candle + Candle = 27
So, 3 × Candle = 27
→ Candle = 27 ÷ 3 =
9
2. Second equation:
Spiderweb × Candle = 27
We know Candle = 9, so:
Spiderweb × 9 = 27
→ Spiderweb = 27 ÷ 9 =
3
3. Third equation:
Candle × Spiderweb + Spiderweb = ?
Plug in the values:
9 × 3 + 3 = 27 + 3 =
30
So the answer for the blank in Puzzle (C) is
30.

Puzzle (D):
1. First equation:
Spider × Spider = 36
So, Spider² = 36
→ Spider = √36 =
6
(We use positive value since it's a count/object value.)
2. Second equation:
Spider × Pumpkin = 24
Spider = 6, so:
6 × Pumpkin = 24
→ Pumpkin = 24 ÷ 6 =
4
3. Third equation:
Pumpkin × Spider + Pumpkin = ?
Plug in:
4 × 6 + 4 = 24 + 4 =
28
So the answer for the blank in Puzzle (D) is
28.
