Question

6. A number when added to its one-third equals 52. Find the number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

78

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x.

A.T.P,

x + ( x/3 )= 52

or, x+x/3 = 52

or,x+x=52×3

or,2x=156

or,x=156/2

or,x=78

So, the required number is 78.

Answer 2

x + 1/3 = 52

x = 52 - 1/3

x = 52*3 - 1 / 3

x = 156/3 - 1/3

x = 155/3 ( lowest term: 7/45)

x = 7/45
