Question

1.Three fourth of a number exceeds its one third by 15. Find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let number be X

three fourth of a number = $\frac{3X}{4}$

one third of a number = $\frac{X}{3}$

now according to the situation,

3X/4 - X/3 = 15

ON TAKING LCM,

9X/12 - 4X/12 = 180/12

9X- 4X = 180

5X= 180

X= 180/5

X= 36

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no be x

3/4x=1/3x+15

3/4x-1/3x=15

Lcm of 4 and 3=12

Therefore,

9/12x-4/12x=15

5/12x=15

5x=15*12 =180

X=180/5

X=36
