To work out which number the Number Jumbler will pick, you need to multiply the first digit by nine.

Here is an example with the number 53:

MY EQUATION:

53= 5 x 9= 45

NUMBER JUMBLER WAY:

5+3=8, 53-8 = 45

As you can see both end results are 45, making it predictable to work out which number the Jumbler will pick.

MANY STUDENTS IN MY CLASS WORKED TOGETHER TO SOLVE THIS.
