Question

Here are 8 times 8, do what you want to do (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) but the answer comes 1000. If your answer comes 1000. How?​

Answer 1

Answer:

888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

So Sorry I didn't solve the How part

Here is how I solved it,

Lets first see how many 8's are required to make 1000

So,

8 × x = 1000

x = 1000/8

x = 125

Hence, we must add 125 8's to get 1000. But here we only have 8 8's and since only 8's can be used, we must find a way to do it

How about we factorise 125 in such a way they make it into 8.

Then,

We know that, the easiest way to get 8 by multiplying two numbers is 1 × 8

This becomes true for 11 × 8, there also we will still use 8's only.

Thus,

8(125) = 1000

So let's divide 125 in such a way it is made of 1's

So greatest number with 1 would be 111, second greatest number would be 11 and so on.

Hence,

8(125) = 1000

8(111 + 11 + 1 + 1 + 1) = 1000

Using distributive property,

888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1000

Hope it was helpful.... All the best

Answer 2

Answer:

8 times mean multiply

Step-by-step explanation:

So the ans would be -

8 times = 8 *

And as you mentioned the sum is 1000

So the equation would be

8 * x = 1000

x = 1000 / 8

x = 125

so the answer is 8 times 125 is 1000
