A cryptarithm is a math puzzle in which the digits in a simple equation are replaced with letters. Each digit is represented by only one letter, and each letter represents a different digit. So, for example, we might represent 51+50 = 101 as AB + AC = BCB. In the cryptarithm SEND + MORE = MONEY, what digit does the letter Y represent?

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, let's do it step by step and see what we can find.

We assume that M is different from 0, otherwise we could find several different solutions I would think.

It means that S + M is greater than 10, otherwise the number of digit of the result would have been 4 and not 5.

The only possible number for M is then 1. M = 1

But then, S can only by 9, otherwise S + 1 < 10. S = 9

S + 1 = 10 + O if there is no carry over, so S = 9 + O

1 + S + 1 = 10 + O if there is a carry, so S = 8 + O

So O = 0 or O = 1. Wait !? M is already equal to 1 so O must be 0

E cannot be equal to N so 1 + E = N, meaning that there must be a carry over from column second from the right.

and E < 9 as we know that there is no carry over from column 3 from the right.

N + R = 10 + E => 1 + E + R = 10 + E => R = 9, impossible, as S=9

or 1 + N + R = 10 + E => 1 + 1 + E + R = 10 + E => R = 8

And there is a carry over from the column 1 from the right, so:

Y cannot be 0 or 1, as already used so D + E > 11

8 and 9 are already taken so we could have 7 + 5 = 12, 7 + 6 = 13 and that's it.

It means that E is 7 or D is 7.

If E is 7 then E+1=9=N, impossible, so D = 7

Then, E is 5 or 6

if E = 6 E + 1 = N = 7, impossible, so E = 5 and N = 6.

And 7 + 5 = 12 so Y = 2.

Hope this helps.

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

sorry, i'm new here and i'm just trying to figure this out. try quizlet. rate 5* you!
