Step-by-step solution for: Free Math Puzzles — Mashup Math
- First, look closely: The image presents a 3x3 multiplication table where rows and columns are labeled with icons. The cells contain either numbers or other icons. The goal is to find the numerical value of each unique icon based on the multiplication rules of the table. I can see the following icons: a potion bottle, a green hand, a bat, fanged lips, and a crescent moon. I need to use the given numbers (1, 2, 3, 9, 12) to solve for the unknown values.
- Next, find information: I will start by analyzing the first row. The cell at the intersection of the potion bottle row and the potion bottle column contains the number 1. This suggests that the value of the potion bottle multiplied by itself equals 1. The only positive integer that satisfies this is 1. So, the potion bottle = 1.
- Then, review the findings: With the potion bottle = 1, I can now solve for the fanged lips icon. In the first row, second column, the cell shows the fanged lips icon, which is the product of the potion bottle (row) and the number 2 (column). So, 1 * 2 = 2. Therefore, the fanged lips icon must represent the value 2.
- Next, find information: Now, let's look at the second row. The cell at the intersection of the green hand row and the potion bottle column is 3. Since we know the potion bottle = 1, this means the green hand * 1 = 3. Therefore, the green hand = 3.
- Then, review the findings: With the green hand = 3, I can solve for the bat icon in the second row, second column. The cell shows the bat icon, which is the product of the green hand (row) and the number 2 (column). So, 3 * 2 = 6. Therefore, the bat icon = 6.
- Next, find information: Let's verify this with the second row, third column. The cell shows the number 9, which is the product of the green hand (row) and the green hand (column). So, 3 * 3 = 9, which is correct.
- Then, review the findings: Now, let's look at the third row. The cell at the intersection of the bat row and the potion bottle column is the bat icon. We already determined the bat icon = 6, and the potion bottle = 1, so 6 * 1 = 6. This is consistent.
- Next, find information: In the third row, second column, the cell shows the number 12, which is the product of the bat (row) and the number 2 (column). So, 6 * 2 = 12, which is correct.
- Then, review the findings: Finally, let's solve for the crescent moon icon in the third row, third column. This is the product of the bat (row) and the green hand (column). So, 6 * 3 = 18. Therefore, the crescent moon icon = 18.
- Next, find information: To summarize, I have found the values for all icons:
- Potion bottle = 1
- Green hand = 3
- Bat = 6
- Fanged lips = 2
- Crescent moon = 18
- Then, review the findings: All values are consistent with the multiplication table provided.
1, 3, 6, 2, 18
