Question

11. One-third of a number is greater than one-fourth of its successor by 1. Find the number,​

Answer 1

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that one-third of a number is greater than one-fourth of its successor by 1.

we have to find the number.

Let the number be x

The successor of the above number is x+1

As one-third of a number is greater than one-fourth of its successor by 1.

1/3 x=1/4 (x+1)+1

1/3 x-1/4 (x+1)=1

4x-3(x+1)/12=1

4x-3x-3=12

x—3=12

x-3+3=12+3

x=15

Hence, the number is 15
