Answer 1

The numbers tully can make are 41, 42, 43, 44, 45,. 46, 47, 48 and 49

Answer 2

Answer: Tully could make the numbers: 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48 and 49

Explanation:

We know that Tully draws 4 sticks, each one with value 10. This means that the numbers will be of the set of four tens: 4(10) = 40

We assume that the circles have each value of 1 unit. Tully draws less than ten circles, but presumely at least one. Therefore the possible units are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

Putting together sticks and circles, the possible numbers are:

4(10) + 1 = 41

4(10) + 2 = 42

4(10) + 3 = 43

4(10) + 4 = 44

4(10) + 5 = 45

4(10) + 6 = 46

4(10) + 7 = 47

4(10) + 8 = 48

4(10) + 9 = 49
