Open Middle®
Directions: Using the digits 1 to 5, at most one time each, place a digit in each box to create an expression with the largest possible value.
Hint
Where would you put your largest digit?
Answer
4^5+2*3 or 4^5+3*2

my answer was:5 to the 4 power +4×2=1258
I thought you could only use the numbers 1-5 one time.
at the top it says “Using the digits 1 to 5, at most one time each”
My answer was 4 to the power of 5 because I did 4^5+3*2
my answer was 5 to the 4 power +4×2=1258 too
Remember… order of operations matter. Most teachers use GEMS or PEMDAS. In any case, you would need to multiply first before adding.
Example: 5 to the 4th power plus 4 times 2 would be…(exponents first)… 625 plus 4 times 2… (then multiply second)… 625 plus 8… (finish it)… 633.
Hope this helps!
If you did pemdas it would be different because (5⁴+4)2 would then be (625+4)2 then (1250+8)=1258. But all of these won’t work because you can only use each number once and 4 is used twice in all of these.
5^4+3×2
2+(3×7+9)=(1-5)/(8×4)
2x(3/7-9)=(1+5)x(8+4)
2-(3x7x9)=(1-5)-(8/4)
22/(3-7/9)=(1×5)(8-4)
2x(3+7+9)=(1/5)(8×4)
2^3+4×1=12
1^2+3×5=16
5^3+4×3=137
4^4+5×2=266
5^5+1×2=3127
4^5+3×1=1027
4^5+3*2
You can only use 5 once
4^5+3×2=1030
4^5+2*3 or 4^5+3*2 is the answer I think.
4^5+2*3 or 4^5+3*2
5^4+3×2=1,256
4^3+5×2=138
4^5+3×1=1,027
3^5+2×4=980
4²+5×2 or 5²+2×4
5^4+4×2= 258
5^4+4×2
4^5+3×2
I got 2 over the power of 3 +5×4
It would be 5 to the power of 4 and the answer to that would be 625.
4^5+2*3
the answer will be 4^5+2*3 or it could be 4^5+3*2 any of these can be use as an answer.

4 +4×5=
16+ 20 = 36

3 +4×5= 9+ 20 =29
3^2+5*4
5^3+2*4 = 133
5^4+3*2
4^5 + 2*3 = 1030
4^5+2*3 or 4^5+3*2
4^5 + 5*3 = 1039
My answer was 5 to the 4 power +4×2=1258 too
You can’t use 4 more than one time according to the directions.
4^5+2*3 or 4^5+3*2
4^5+3*2
I think it is 4^5+3*2
I believe it is 4 with an exponent of 5 plus 2 times 3
I think it is 4^5+2*3
4^5+2 x 3
4^5+2×3=1030
4^5+2*3
5^4+3*2 or 4^5+3*2
5^4+3*2 or 4^5+3*2
3^2+4*5
I don’t understand it also as my reflection it it was easy
4^5+2*3
5^4 + 4*3
4^5+2*3
4^5+3*2
4^5+2*3
My answer that I got was 4^5+2*3.
4^5+3*2
4 to the 5th power +3 X 2=2054
i was going to guess 5^4=3×2
4*5+3×2
5*4+2×3
4^5+3×2
4^5+3×2
4^5+2×3
5^4+3•2
4^5+3•2
4^5+3*2
My answer is 4^5+2×3
I got 4^5+2*3
I got 4^5+3*2
My answer was 4^5+2*3
My answer 4^5+3*2
My answer is 4^5+2*3=26
4^5+2*3=1030
4^5+2×3
Yes that was what i got too.
5/4+2×3
my answer was 4^5+2*3
4^5+3*2
I did (4^5*3)+2
The answer to mine was 3074
4^5+3*2= 1030
1024+6=1030
4^5+2*3or4^5+3*2
