Answer:
From the image below we see that
5 matchsticks are required to make
2 and 6 matchsticks are needed to make 6
So if the number of 2s is taken as '
a
' and the number of sixes is taken as '
b
the number of matchsticks needed to make the 2s =
5 x a = 5a
The number of matchsticks needed to make the 6s = 6x b = 6b
Total number of matchsticks = 5a+6b
In the number
262226
, there are four times number 2 and two times number 6
Hence,
a = 4 and b = 2
Therefore, the total number of matchsticks required
= 5a+6b=5×4+6×2 = 20+12=32
so the naswer is 32 hope it helps
