Answer: 15

This is because 26 + 7 = 33. 18 + ? = 33. This makes 15 the only possible answer.

1 .

Find the number that will complete the sum below correctly.

? ÷ 9 = 15 - 7

This is because 15 - 7 = 8 and 72 ÷ 9 = 8

2 .

Find the number that will complete the sum below correctly.

19 x 4 = ? + 52

This is because 24 + 52 = 76. 19 x 4 also gives the answer of 76. Many things are arranged in fours. A deck of cards has four suits, there are four points of a compass and, if you're lucky, there are four leaves on a clover!

3 .

Find the number that will complete the sum below correctly.

56 x 2 = 127 - ?

This is because 127 - 15 = 112 which is equal to 56 x 2

4 .

Find the number that will complete the sum below correctly.

35 - ? = 4 x 4

This is because 4 x 4 = 16. This is equal to 35 - 19. When we multiply a number by itself, the product is known as the square of that number. So 16 is the square of 4. Another example is 25 which is the square of 5

5 .

Find the number that will complete the sum below correctly.

18 - 5 = 78 ÷ ?

This is because 18 - 5 = 13. To get from 78 to 13 we need to divide it by 6

6 .

Find the number that will complete the sum below correctly.

17 + ? = 49 - 13.

This is because 49 - 13 is 36. The answer must be 19 as 17 + 19 = 36. 19 is a prime number. A prime number is a number which is only divisible by itself and 1

7 .

Find the number that will complete the sum below correctly.

? + 26 = 30 + 4.

This is because 30 + 4 = 34. To turn ? + 26 into 34 we need to add 8. Here's an interesting fact for you: a number is always divisible by 8 if its last three digits are also divisible by 8, for example 6,240

8 .

Find the number that will complete the sum below correctly.

12 x 4 = 52 - ?

This is because 12 x 4 = 48 and 52 - 4 is also 48

9 .

Find the number that will complete the sum below correctly.

14 ÷ 2 = 63 ÷ ?

This is because 14 ÷ 2 = 7 and 63 ÷ 9 is also equal to 7. Can you remember what a prime number is? Good. Well, 2 is the only prime number which is also an even number

10 .

Find the number that will complete the sum below correctly.

45 - ? = 13 x 3

This is because 45 - 6 = 39, which is the same as = 13 x 3. Some people consider 13 to be an unlucky number and Friday 13th is thought to be an unlucky date. Any month's 13th day will fall on a Friday if the month begins with a Sunday
