Question

4. If 3/4 of a number is 7 more than 1/6 of the number, what is 5/3 of the number?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x then,

1/6x + 7 = 3/4x

=> 1/6x - 3/4x = 7

=> 4/24x - 18/24x = 7

=> -14/24x = 7

=> -7/12x = 7

=> x = {7 ÷ -7/12}

=> x = {7 × 12/-7}

Hence, x = -12

If x is -12 then 5/3 of the number will be,

[-12 × 5/3] = -20

Answer) Hence 5/3 of the number will be -20.
