c) Replace the asterisks by the correct mathematical signs to make the expression equal to 99.

16 * 12 * 2 * 3 = 99

d) A certain number consists of two digits. The number is equal to five times the sum of its digits. If you add 9 to the number, the order of its digits is reversed. What is the number?

e) I have five letters and five addressed envelopes. If I place the letters in the envelopes at random, what are the chances that only four letters are in their correct envelopes?

f) Beth is 16 years younger than Jo. In 10 years time Jo will be twice as old as Beth. How old are they now?

these look like they came straight out of a high school algebra book.

Actually, they didn't

But I do have some that I used to use to prepare myself for the Math Olympics (I never knew how I got in there, three times

) I'd have to look for them, not sure I'll find them, if anyone is interested.

16 x 12 / 2 + 3 = 99. Me=geek

45...still a geek

1/25? I have no idea, actually.

22 and 6

Edit: About e...duh duh duh. I'm stupid, now that I looked at the answer. But apparently I got all the other ones right! Give me more math! I'll do 'em tomorrow!
