This is the question....

A lock combination has 3 different digits. The product of the digits is 60. The sum of the digits is 12. The greatest digit is the middle number. What 2 combinations are possible?

We're not looking for the answer...but what do they mean by the product? Sometimes my daughters homework makes me feel so stupid. :blushing: I just cant help her figure this one out.

Thanks! :tongue:
