Question #2

By looking at the following clues, determine the diameter

of Mercury, the smallest planet in our solar system:

(a) 8 is the # in the hundreds place; (b) the # in thehundreds place is the same as the # in the tens place; (c)

the # in the thousands place is the # in the tens place,divided in half; (d) and the # in the ones place is the # in

the hundreds place subtracted from the # in the tensplace.
