Making 37

In math we were learning how to make 37 out of 10 numbers using the numbers 1,3,5 and 7. I explored this and found out this is impossible to make 37 out of these numbers because odd and odd equals even.
All the numbers we were exploring were odd which means it can only make even. To make 37 you can use numbers such as 9 11 still using the 1,3,5 and 7. You can solve this question by not using 10 as a total.

  • 7+1+7+1+3+1+7+1+1+1+7=37
  • 1+7+1+7+1+7+1+7+1+3+1=37
  • 3+1+7+5+5+7+7+3=37
