Thanks but your able to use any numbers, you have more then one possible answer. That lies between 300-400. If i read this problem correctly
I agree with you
Exactly how I did it! :D
I am so dumb I figured it out then just typed 90 because I thought it was asking for the last two digits

Too bad. Read the problem properly the next time.
Jaja, I think it is something that has happened to us all, but the important thing is that you solved the problem.
You were having 3 tries.
U are seriously toooo dumb .. It gives us 3 trials to enter the answer 😂😂😂😂😋
I suck at this:(

Keep trying. These are skills that can be practiced 👍
You can't know A can only be 1, for example A = 0 and B = 1 (3 * 31 = 390 too).
Log in to reply
If a = 0 , then we have 3 ( 3 0 + b ) ≥ 3 0 0 ⟹ 3 0 + b ≥ 1 0 0 ⟹ b ≥ 7 0 .
how in the world does 3 multiply to 31 equal 390??? I thought it's 93
wow, think you need to try again!!!
Why did you find 10a ?

When we write a 3 this means that if a = 1 , then a 3 = 1 3 , if a = 2 , then a 3 = 2 3 , if a = 3 , then a 3 = 3 3 .... This means that a 3 = 1 0 a + 3 .
Another way to explain it would to say that “a” represents the tens place. So to represent that number with a variable in addition using a digit, ten times that digit plus the ones place digit is equal to that number.
Completely LOST🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

It forms an equation of linear algebra. We are just comparing left hand side and right hand side and by that we get that a=1 and b=0
Since the final result is between 300 and 399 We can say 300 < (10x + 3)× (30+y) < 399 The number wich, multiplied by 30+y, results in 300-399 has to be >3 and <20 so we can say x is absolutely 1, we now have 13(30+y)<400 390 + 13y<400 13y<10 y < 10/13 10/13 < 1, and since we're looking for a natural number we can conclude y can only be 0 And 13 × 30 = 390
I was never any good at this and this is only my first problem. I thought the app was going to teach me an easier way. Evidently not
I get the answer by guessing (with multiplying I mean)
I have also done the same...
Instead, i used this weird long multiplication method, by filling in blanks with letters. Y3 x 3X
(30x3)+3x = 90+3x 300Y+10YX
Instead of writing is as 100(3Y)+10(9+XY)+(3x), i used brakets to represent each digit and commas to separate them, (3Y),(9+XY),(3x) we know that it is 3_ _ / 3, , 3Y=3 Y=1 XY must be 0 because if it was even 1 then we would have 4,0,0 instead of 3, , X=0 so substitute 3,9,0 / 390 or Y=1 so Y3=13 X=0 so 3X=30 13x30=390
What are a and b then?
Log in to reply
...It is obvious that a can only be 1, then It is obvious that b can only be 0, then...
;)
Oh now I get it
And I just shot in the dark lol
This is very hard question
I have randomly multiplied 30×13 and that became the answer
How can I contribute a solution? I do not see the option :(
Thanks @Chew-Seong Cheong for providing the challenging answer.
I am in my 30s and I've always thought of myself as bad at math. The nuns in elementary school used to make me copy from the Bible because I was so bad at it. But alas I have digressed, a poor habit and a poor use of the readers time.
I recognize this solution and I don't totally understand it.
Something to do with factors?
I got the question wrong.
It was really frustrating and stressful in the moment.
I tried reading through the other comments but there are too many to make sense out of.
If anyone has thought to spare, which lesson should I pay careful attention to to better understand this answer?
Great explanation.
I answered with 1090, filled up all the blanks squares 😂
Smart explanation!
As the first letter of answer was 3, I was sure it must be 13 x 3_. Nw I have to figure out the 2nd term in multiplication. I gave it one Then 13 x 31 equals 4 _ _. So I know the digit must be one So I tried multiplying 13 x 30 = 390. Answer.
Hey Mr. Chew-Seong Cheong, where 10ab vanished and how you got the 13b all of a sudden? Care to explain the step jumps you've done?
Estimating, we have x ⋅ 3 0 ≈ 3 0 0 or x ≈ 1 0 . This means the first number is probably 1 3 , and since 1 3 × 3 0 = 3 9 0 , the final product is 3 9 0 .
Since 1 3 times any integer larger than 3 0 is larger than 3 9 9 , and since 2 3 times any integer 3 0 or above is larger than 3 9 9 , and since 0 3 times any integer 3 9 or lower is smaller than 3 0 0 , 1 3 × 3 0 = 3 9 0 is the only possible solution to the above equation.
But all numbers must be a single digit integers.. in your solution zero show two times

There are no restrictions on how many times a single-digit integer appears in the solution.
In the problem, it says that integers don’t need to be different.
And it doesn't specify positive integer, so 0 is valid.
This was exactly my approach and my handy calculator proved it out.
The product can only begin with three if the top left square is 1 and the square next to 3 is 0 .
This was found by first putting 1 in each place mentioned: 1 3 × 3 1 This gave me 4 0 3 . I figured reducing the top wouldn't help, and that 3 0 0 < 4 0 3 − 1 3 < 4 0 0 , so I changed the 3 's partner to 0 to get 1 3 ∗ 3 0 = 3 9 0
Me tooooo!!!!
I did this as well
Let the top number be 3a and the second number be b3. Then rewrite this product as (10a+3)(30+b)
= 10ab + 3b + 300a + 90
Note that 300 <= 10ab + 3b + 300a + 90 < 400.
If a = 0, then 10ab + 3b + 300a + 90 = 90 + 3b which is <= 117 a contradiction.
If a => 2, then 10ab + 3b + 300a +90 > 600 a contradiction. Thus, a = 1.
Then 10ab + 3b + 300a + 90 = 390 + 13b < 400. Then 13b < 10. This is impossible if b => 1. Thus, b = 0.
Thus, 10ab + 3b + 300a + 90 = 390.
31 x 13 > 400, so the product can only be 13 x 30. Ed Gray
I solved it, after my failed guess of 333, a similar way. I read the question as "what times thirty can be between 300-399." I initially thought it was being sneaky with the numbers being 03 x 33 =333.
Let's don't use a "mathy" way to solve this problem. Since the product is 300 or more, it is clear that the first digit of the first multiplier must be 1 (only 1 times 3=3). Now, our answer must be 300 or more. To make sure the answer is smaller than 400, we should put the smallest (0) on the second multiplier's last digit. Now, we've got the answer: 13 times 30=390.
By first looking you realized that the answer is in the range of 300 to 399, however multiplying two digit number with other two digit number the answer must be three digit number or more, since the 100th digit of the answer is 3 that means 3 1 there for the first box is 1, that means the first digit is 13, now the second digit is among 30,31,32,....,39 so we start from the lowest which is 30, and test the answer if it doesn't match then we move to 31 till the end, so 13 30=399 that's the answer .
The result is in any case 300 and something. So, the first square must be 1. If the square was 2 or greater we would get at least 690 (23 * 30), which is greater than 300 and something. If the second square was 1 we would get 13 * 31 = 403, also greater than 300 and something. What we have left is 13 * 30 = 390
i got lucky. i thought of 13 times 30 randomly and, well, it matched so i got it right lol.
I figured it in my mind that if 13 30=390 if we have taken 03 31 then it would not have worked else we could also not use 13*31 as it will cross 400.
On inspection the top number must be 13 as nothing else could result in a product in the 300s. From there acting out a long multiplication with anything 1 or more in the bottom right hand corner would result in carrying over into the 400s as you always have a 9 in the 10s column, so the bottom right blank must be a 0.
1 3 × 3 0 = 3 9 0
Let the second number be 30. The first number has to be more than a 10 to reach 300. And less than 14 so you don't go over 399. So 13 * 30 = 390
Oh my gosh I got the answer on my first try!!!
I just kind of worked it out in my head, testing different numbers to see if they fit.
Let assume the first no . Be x3 and lower 3y ...then carrying out simple multiplication we get 3x( hundredth place ) (xy)+9 { tenth place } 3y { ones place }..to be the product.. but given hundredth place = 3 ..=>x =1 ..put x = 1 in tenth place and you get 9 + y shouldn't be equal to 10 else the one adds to hundreds place ..so ..it must be zero...and hence calculate
1x3 = 3 (bilangan dimulai angka 3) 2x3 = 6 (bilangan dimulai angka 6) 3x3 = 9 (bilangan dimulai angka 9) Dst. Dapat dianalogikan ketika di soal diketahui angka yg memulai suatu bilangan adalah 3, maka bilangan "pengali yg diatas haruslah dimulai angka 1 -> 13 Sedangkan untuk bilangan pengaki yg dibawah sudah dimulai dari angka 3, agar hasil nya sesuai dengan qlue anda harus masukkan angka 0
the possible numbers for upper row is: 03, 13, 23, 33... the possible numbers for lower row is: 30, 31, 32, 33... 03 30=90, 03 39=117, all too small 13 30=390, just right; 13 31=403 too large So, answer is 13*30=390
Simple way 3 3 3__ Of course if the hundreds section of the number is three than three should be multiplied by one to get the first number three
Then you can try the multiplicant by replacing ones place from 0to2 asnd you ge15tg your answer.
Very Easy !😂😂
Try making a coherent response next time
Using logic is the easiest way to solve this problem... - in the answer the 3 in the hundredths place is your first clue. like stated above obviously, it has to be multiplied by 1. if you invert the two factors so that it looks like this it is easier to see... 3 _ x _ 3 <---- 3 _ _ if multiplied by 0, it would not make sense to put a 0 before a 3 and therefore is redundant. Also, your answer would be in the not even be close to the targeted range. Multiplying by 2 would put the answer into 600 range which would not match the answer. anything higher in value would place the answer even farther out of range. So obviously, 1 would be the placed in the top blank making your number 13. - again, using the product as a clue, you need to ensure the answer is within 300 to 399. to find the value of the second factor, start with low numbers. on this factor, you can place a 0 in the ones place. keeping the problem in same format as above you can quickly multiply using basic math skills... 3(0) x 13
90
+ 300
390 at this point, all requirements are met, but to be sure, you can increase the value of the unknown factor by one. in short, you add 13 to the product because you are multiplying 13 once more to get 13 + 390 = 403. obviously, that would not meet the requirements for problem. so the answer is 390.

Let the top number be a 3 and the second number be 3 b , where a and b are single-digit non-negative integers. Then the product is:
( 1 0 a + 3 ) ( 3 0 + b ) 3 0 0 a + 1 0 a b + 3 b + 9 0 3 9 0 + 1 3 b 3 9 0 + 0 = 3 □ □ = 3 □ □ = 3 □ □ = 3 9 0 It is obvious that a can only be 1, then It is obvious that b can only be 0, then
