To achieve the target number 24 using the numbers 9, 6, 11, and 3, we can use a combination of arithmetic operations. One possible way is to perform the following calculations:
First, we can multiply 6 and 3:
6 × 3 = 18
Next, we can add 9 to this result:
18 + 9 = 27
Then, we subtract 11 from the result:
27 – 11 = 16
At this point, we haven’t reached 24 yet, so let’s try another approach.
We can instead multiply 3 and 11 first:
3 × 11 = 33
Now let’s subtract 9 from this result:
33 – 9 = 24
And that’s it! By following these operations, we were able to combine the numbers to reach 24.
