3/9, 12/9 and 1/2 (Posted on 2009-06-30) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Solve each of these separate cryptarithms:
  • THREE/NINTHS = 3/9
     
  • TWELVE/NINTHS = 12/9
     
  • ONE/HALF = 1/2   (such that TWO+ONE+THREE = 32,213)

 three  ninths
 53844  161532
 
 twelve  ninths
 632812  474609
 
 one  half     one  two  three
 728  1456     728  397  31088
 
 


Without the "such that", the following would be solutions for ONE/HALF = 1/2:
