Question
1._what is 12 degrees warmer than 38 degrees?
2.-the number is between 0 and 9. it cannot be evenly divided by 2. it is more than five. what is the number?

Answer
Hi Johan,

1.  Well, if you want 12 degrees warmer, you want to add 12 degrees to 38 degrees, so you get 38 + 12 = 50 degrees.


2.  Okay, so our possibilities are : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

   Since its not divisible by two, that removes all the even ones

   1,3,5,7

   Since its more than 5, it must be 7.
