Question

A number added to its one fourth gives15 which is the number

Answer 1

Given :

Let the number be ' x '.

one fourth = 1 / 4

According to the question :

x + x 1 / 4 = 15

= 2x + 1 / 4 = 15

= 2x = 15 × 4

= 2x = 60

= x = 60 / 2

= x = 30.

Answer 2

ANSWER:-

➣

• Let:-

No. be $\bf{x}$

One-fourth of the x is $\bf{\frac{1}{4}}x$

SOLUTION:-

ATQ:-

$\longrightarrow{x + {\frac{1}{4}}x = 15}$

• Taking LCM:-

$\longrightarrow{\frac{4x+x}{4}}=15$

$\longrightarrow{\frac{5x}{4}}=15$

$\longrightarrow{5x = 15 \times 4}$

$\longrightarrow{5x = 60}$

$\longrightarrow{x = {\frac{60}{5}}}$

$\longrightarrow{x = {\cancel{\frac{60}{5}}}}$

$\longrightarrow{\bf{x = 12}}$
