yay first post

u could subtract 72 to get 729

because 81*9=729 which is the same as 9 cubed

Incorrect Matt.......

If you turn the equation "upside down" you get -

108 = 6 x 18

I a gree with the post 3
write the equation 81*9=801 then rotate the paper it will
108=6*18

Change the first 1 to a 9 so that 81*9 becomes 89*9 which is 801.

my friends the puzeel is
What is one thing you would do to make this question right?
he said one thing and he don't say one operation
so the only thing is rotate the paper after u write the equation so it will
108=6x18

Perhaps I'm seeing this incorrectly, but to change:
81 x 9 = 801 into 108 = 6 x 18

you have to flip it vertically and then horizontally, which would be "2 things" rather than the "one thing" as initially called for.

If that were an answer, then
81 + 9 * 9 - 9 (adding 2-9s) would be a viable answer as well
((81 + 9) * 9) - 9 = 801

Turning it upside down, could mean you turn the face side down. That would be "flipping it" like a coin.

But, Michelle meant, (I am pretty sure) you would rotate 180 degrees.

Then the top becomes the bottom and the left becomes the right.

as i said before
rotate it not flip it
for more specify rotate it 180 degree as Ragknot said and I said it before

Right enough?

And another thing.
It is NOT a question.

It is an equation.
Why didn't anyone bring that up?

may i just say in my first post which was the first post that my answer is right because 81*9 does equal 729

and he said one "thing"

thing could be anything,

and whats the point in saying that kindman
"it say one thing, not one operation"
well it doesnt say one rotation either
so in my mind we are both right

hey my friends
for my friend matt if u make your operation u don't make
81x9=801 u make anoter operation u make 89x9=801 u change the equation itself but if u rotate the paper 180 degree - as I said and Ragknot said too - u don't change the formula u only change your point of view

Hello,

I think you are going off track from the original statement asked.

"What is one thing you would do to make this QUESTION right?".

As ragknot noted earlier "81 X 9 = 801" is an equation as it stands and not a question.

So the correct one thing to do to make this question right is add a "?", resulting in...

81 X 9 = 801 ?

Which has an answer of "No, 81 X 9 = 729"

Hope that helps,

Windy

hey
81x9=801 is an equation, and the qustion is how 81x9=801

the answer 81x9=801 by rotate it 180 degree
so the equation will be
108=6x18
and so we didn't change the eqution ,but we change our direction to the equation

I'd put a slash through the equal sign to say the sides are not equal.

i was thinking same as windy

it says make the QUESTION right

so you would add a ?

Hey Guys,

Everyone who said: flip the equation
81 x 9= 801
to
108=6x18

is correct!!!
way to go!!!

i thought you could add 72:
81*9+72=801, But i like windy's answer! it did say QUESTION.

Obviously there are at least four different things to fix it up. The poster didn't imply that there was only one solution.
