Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Determine the pattern using the second puzzle.

    In the second puzzle, we have the numbers: Star = 60, Left = 120, Triangle = 4, Right = ?
    Let the unknown right number be YY.
    We observe the pattern: (Left number) ×\times (Triangle number) ÷\div (Right number) = (Star number).
    Substitute the known values:

    120×4÷Y=60120 \times 4 \div Y = 60 480÷Y=60480 \div Y = 60

    To solve for YY, we rearrange the equation:

    Y=48060Y = \frac{480}{60} Y=8Y = 8

    We can verify this pattern: 120×4÷8=480÷8=60120 \times 4 \div 8 = 480 \div 8 = 60. This matches the star number.

  2. Solve the first puzzle using the established pattern.

    In the first puzzle, we have the numbers: Star = 80, Triangle = 10, Right = 12, Left = ?
    Let the unknown left number be XX.
    Using the pattern: (Left number) ×\times (Triangle number) ÷\div (Right number) = (Star number).

    X×10÷12=80X \times 10 \div 12 = 80

    To solve for XX:

    10X12=80\frac{10X}{12} = 80

    Simplify the fraction 1012\frac{10}{12} to 56\frac{5}{6}:

    5X6=80\frac{5X}{6} = 80

    Multiply both sides by 6:

    5X=80×65X = 80 \times 6 5X=4805X = 480

    Divide both sides by 5:

    X=4805X = \frac{480}{5} X=96X = 96

    The missing number in the blue box for the first puzzle is 96\boxed{\text{96}}.

  3. Solve the second puzzle using the established pattern.

    In the second puzzle, we have the numbers: Star = 60, Left = 120, Triangle = 4, Right = ?
    Let the unknown right number be YY.
    Using the pattern: (Left number) ×\times (Triangle number) ÷\div (Right number) = (Star number).

    120×4÷Y=60120 \times 4 \div Y = 60

    To solve for YY:

    480÷Y=60480 \div Y = 60 Y=48060Y = \frac{480}{60} Y=8Y = 8

    The missing number in the blue box for the second puzzle is 8\boxed{\text{8}}.
