If three times five were twenty, what would the square of six be? Thanks.

216. LOL

 

4 x 5 > 20

3 x 5 = 20

6 x 6 (6^2) > 36

6 x 5 = 36

 

6^2 would be more like 6^3

Therefore, 6 x 5 is like 6^2.(^ Not ^ that one)

If the product of: 3 x 5 = 15 goes up to 20, then:

20/15 =1 1/3. Therefore, the product of 6 x 6 =36 also goes up by 1 1/3, or:

36 x 1 1/3 =48.
