Write a multiplication expression using the following clues:

1. One factor is a two digit number between 1 and 10.

2. One factor is a two digit number between 1 and 10 (different from the first).

3. The product is greater then 8, but less than 10.

Answer:

5.5*1.5=8.25

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) Let the first factor be 5.5.

Clearly, 5.5 is a two digit number and it lies in between 1 and 10. The first condition is satisfied.

(2) Let the other factor be 1.5

Similarly, 1.5 is a two digit number and it lies in between 1 and 10. The second condition is satisfied.

(3) If we take the product of the two factors chosen,

1.5*5.5=8.25

8.25 is greater than 8 but less than 10, thus satisfying the third condition.

The multiplication expression is therefore:

5.5*1.5=8.25
