Question from nakia, a parent:

I am a number less 59 but greater than 48. my ones digit is 2 more than my tens digit.What's the number?

Nakia,

If the number is between 48 and 59 then its tens digit must be 4 or 5.

If the tens digit is 4 what is the units digit?
If the tens digit is 5 what is the units digit?

Which one is between 48 and 59?
