Question

How would you use six matchsticks to make them equal to eleven? Show it by drawing matchsticks in the given space in the answer booklet.

Hint:

To solve matchstick puzzles, think of how numbers can be formed with vertical or horizontal lines, and how matchsticks can be reused efficiently.

Answer 1

To represent the number "11" using six matchsticks, you can arrange the matchsticks as follows: \[ \boxed{\text{I I}} \] 

Each "I" represents a matchstick standing vertically. You use two matchsticks for each "1" in the number "11". Hence, a total of six matchsticks are used to form the number eleven.
