What three-digit number has the number five as its digit in the tens place and the digit in the hundreds place twice as big as the digit in the ones place?

All four answers are correct. To solve the problem start by determining that the number has three digits and the digit in the middle is 5, or a5b. Then solve for a and b: a = 8 and b = 4 a = 6 and b = 3 a = 4 and b = 2 a = 2 and b =1
