There are 9 letters in each section (MATHISFUN) You need to divide by 9 and don't forget to use the remainder (if there is one) to help figure out what the answer is.
also, give each letter a numerical value. M-1 A-2 T-3 H-4 I-5 S-6 F-7 U-8 N-9
well 9 would go into 1102 111 times with a remainder of 3
If there is 9 numbers in each MATHISFUN divide 1002 by 9 and take the remainder and count it into math is fun(example: if the remainder is 8 you would count to U because it is the 8th letter in the sequence MATHISFUN.
right and theres 3 as a remainder so you count to the third number in the sequence which is T
in math is fun there are nine letters which each represent a number 1=m 2=a 3=t 4=h 5=i 6=s 7=f 8=u 9=n. so you have to see what number goes into 1002 and multiply it.
the only letters it can be is 2,3,and 6.2 is a,3 is t,and 6 is s.
since 2 and 6 are even you can't have them since there are an odd amount of numbers.
When you get the answer you just have to find out what letter it stands for in the number line.
so i think you doo this.... 9 devided by 1002.....that is 111 with a REMANDER OF 3....hint hint nuge nuge...... i dont know if the way i did this was right,... it think we need help from the coopernater
I agree with scott that 9 does go into 1002 with a remander of 3...witch is a hint but i also agree we do need some help from the "coopernater"
what i see is that there is only a space after Ma
what u can do is figure out how many numbers are in each space. Then multiply somthing.
so with a remander of 3 mathisfun
YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
If there are 9 letters in the pattern, then these 9 letters will keep repeating...
So since 1002 divided by 9 leaves a remainder of 3, what does 3 tell you about where you end up in the pattern of the 9 letters?
I like whst Stella. It worked for me. Just add the remainder to the end MATHISFUNMATHISFUNMAT... the number of the remainder is the number you add to the end then you turn the number into a letter.
I hope that makes sense.
Since we know that if you add up the digits and 3 can go into it then the number is divisable by 3. Also since there are 9 letters 3 goes into that......
What you have to do with is problem is you have to take 1002 and divide it by 9 ( If you add all the letters in Math is Fun you get 9) . If you do that you will get 3 left over that means if you say Math Is Fun the last letter is?
basically what noa is saying is that there are clues around you if you look hard enogh i did not notice that adding math is fun equalled 9.... So i agree with sophia about 3 going into 9 also with noam that you have to keep addinga 3 to the end of mathisfunmathisfun and so on
what i geus u hace to do is multiply 9 times somthing because that is the pattern before it does it again
I agree with scoot because 9 go into 1002=111 so the letter is going to be -N-
i agree with stella because by figuring out the numerical value of mathisfun you can figure out the answer
You are right if you discovered there are nine letters in "MATHISFUN". When you divide by 9 that tells how many times MATHISFUN repeats before you get to the 1002th letter. The remainder tells how many letters you are into the nine (MATHISFUN)letters.
You are all helping your classmates see how to arrive at the answer.
So...since 1002 divided by 9 is 111 with a remainder of 3, that means that the MATHISFUN letters repeat 111 times and will be at the third letter. So the answer is T!
Good job!
