At last week's Girl Guide's picnic, four girls were tucking into their packed lunches. Jane had muffins but Denise didn't have orange juice. The girl who had blackcurrant juice also had scones and Frankie had blueberry juice. The girl who had cake also had strawberry juice, whereas Alice didn't have the strawberry juice nor toast. Can you work out who had which drink and which dessert?
Answer
Alice had blackcurrant juice and scones.
Jane had orange juice and muffins.
Denise had strawberry juice and cake.
Frankie had blueberry juice and toast.
Hint
In the first box, look at 7 & 3, and 4 & 1, to see how we can use them to make 12.
Answer
4.
Reasoning
For each row, the left minus the right gives a number.
The numbers for the rows are then multiplied together.
In the first box:
7 − 3 = 4
4 − 1 = 3
so 4 x 3 = 12
In the second box:
9 − 2 = 7
8 − 3 = 5
so 7 x 5 = 35
In the last box:
6 − 2 = 4
8 − 7 = 1
so 4 x 1 = 4.
