what two 1-digit factors could you multiply to get a product between and including 40 and 50?

Question

I need help on my homework because no one knows what this means.

Answer 1

The criteria of the problem is
40 ≤ xy ≤ 50
where xand y are integers between 1 and 9 inclusive

 

5(8) = 40

5(9) = 45

6(7) = 42

6(8) = 48

7(7) = 49

 

Answer 2

5 * 8 = 40

6 * 8 = 48

7 * 7 = 49
