The mathematical challenge that I show you is not like any other. Here you will truly have to demonstrate your intellectual capacity and, above all, your ability in mathematics to check the final result that appears in each equation. These are made up of only four numbers 5. That is, in each row there will be that many numbers 5 and our objective is to arrange the order of different mathematical symbols so that we get the value at the end as an answer.
To add a little more difficulty, you will only have a time limit of 20 seconds to try to find the solution to all the equations. The variables are, perhaps, many but remember that time plays against you so you will have to be precise. If you already feel ready, I will leave you the image of the mathematical challenge below.
Look carefully at the graph of the mathematical challenge
I show you the solution to the mathematical challenge
For the first equation that results in 1:
- (5 + 5 – 5) / 5
- (5 – 5) + (5 / 5)
- 55/55
- (5 x 5) / (5 x 5)
For the second equation that has the result 2:
The solution of 3:
To get 4:
The solution of 5:
The importance of mathematical challenges
Mathematical challenges promote logical reasoning by requiring the application of concepts and principles in varied contexts. This diversified approach strengthens individuals’ ability to approach problems analytically and systematically, thereby developing problem-solving skills that transcend the mathematical realm. Additionally, when faced with challenges, persistence and patience are encouraged, as solving complex problems often requires time and sustained effort.
