Question

Mary wrote a book of 1536 pages
She numbered all the pages by hand.
How many times did she write the digit 6?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let me explain. When she wrote the number sixteen (16), she did NOT write the number six (6). She wrote the NUMERAL 1 followed by the NUMERAL 6. The NUMERAL is a character that is used to represent the abstract concept of a number or of a digit - a part of a number necessary, but not sufficient to identify the number. The number Six is a quantity answering rhe question: “How Many?” The numeral 6 is a representation of that quantity but is Itself only a character not the number itself. The 6 in 62 is not a quantity, not the number six, but here represents the number sixty by virtue of it's placement. .

She could have used Roman numerals when numbering the pages - The sixth page would be labled: VI. When she reached the sixty second page, she wrote LXII. Nowhere is there a six, a 6 or even a VI which, as we know, represents six in this system. This is certainly not writing the number six. And and neither is 666. Although you are writing the character, 6, three times, you have not written the NUMBER 6 - which represents a quantity, six. Her final page, the one thousand five hundred thirty sixth one could have been labeled, MDXXXVI and not a six in sight.

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is 404.

Step-by-step explanation:  According to the question there are 1536 pages in the books,

It occurs 20 times per hundred

In every count of 100 there will be 15 times 6,

as shown below

$6,16,26,36,46,56,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,76,86,96$

In $66$, there will be two time $6$.

according to the question,

total number of pages in maya book is $1536$

Then $1536=1500+36$

6 occurs 20 times per hundred  then,

In 1500,  

the $6$ will occurs total time =  15x20=300

And rest 36 number, $6$ occurred 4 times $(6,16,26,36)$ = $4$

Also from $600$ to $699$, $6$ occurs more 100 times.

therefore total number of $6$ will be

$300+100+4=404$

the total number of $6$ occurs in maya book will be 404 .
