Problem Description (Translated from Catalan):
Title: Form Numbers
Numbers with Two Digits
We want to know all the two-digit numbers that can be formed using the digits 2, 6, and 7.
Questions:
a) How many two-digit numbers can be formed?
Answer: You can form __ two-digit numbers.
b) How many different two-digit numbers can be formed?
Answer: You can form __ different two-digit numbers.
Solution:
- For part (a):
Each two-digit number can be formed by choosing a digit for the tens place and another digit for the ones place.
Since we have the digits 2, 6, and 7 available, there are 3 choices for the tens place and 3 choices for the ones place.
Thus, the total number of possible two-digit numbers (including repetitions) is:
So, there are 9 possible two-digit numbers.
- For part (b):
Here, we are asked to form two-digit numbers where the two digits are different.
For the tens place, we still have 3 choices, but once we pick a digit for the tens place, we have only 2 remaining choices for the ones place (since the digits must be different).
Therefore, the total number of two-digit numbers with different digits is:
So, there are 6 different two-digit numbers.
Final Answers:
- (a) There are 9 two-digit numbers in total.
- (b) There are 6 different two-digit numbers.
