5. When the 5 pieces shown fit together correctly, the result is a rectangle with a calculation written on it. What is the answer to this calculation?  Okay, so the first thing we can do, like in any puzzle, is to isolate the edge pieces. We see that 1 is on the edge, and 0 is on the edge, so we get something that looks like  this. The next thing that we can see is that the only way we can connect this 2 to this 2 is with this plus, so we're going to have to have 2 plus 2 as the middle segment over  here. Now this gives us a simple math equation. 12 plus 20 is what? It's 32. And as a result, the answer is B.

Video Summary

The puzzle involves fitting five pieces together to form a rectangle with a calculation on it. By isolating edge pieces, the numbers 1 and 0 were placed on the edges. Then, connecting numbers 2 and 2 with a plus sign forms the central segment. This results in a simple math equation: 12 plus 20 equals 32. Therefore, the answer to the calculation is 32, corresponding to option B.
