Question from Irish:

How many two digit numbers contain the digit 5?

Hi,

Make a list of all the two digit numbers that have 5 as the tens digit.

Make a list of all the two digit numbers that have 5 as the units digit. To do this you will need to decide if 05 is a two digit number.

How many numbers are there in total in the two lists? Did you count any number more than once?
