Question

How can you add eight 6s together so that the total adds up to 750?

Answer 1

Answer: 750

Explanation:

You have eight 6’s but they don’t have to be kept just as 6. If you put two of them together you get 66, and three gives 666. Realizing that is the key to understanding the problem.

Start by putting three 6’s together to get 666

Now add a pair of 6’s (66)

666 + 66 = 732

We’ve used five 6’s and have three left. Add each remaining 6 to the sum one at a time.

732 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 750

666 + 66 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 750

All eight 6’s have been used and totaled 750
