Solution :

Correction :

A number is 6 more than average of its half its one third and its one sixth find the number ?

Let the number be x

We have given a Statement that ,

" A number is 6 more than average of its half its one third and its one sixth "

Express the simpler word from it algebraically

Half of the number = x/2

One third of the number = x/3

One sixth of the number = x/6

Take a average of the Simpler Word

Total = 3

⇒ (x/2 + x/3 + x/6)/(3)

⇒( 3x + 2x + x/6)/(3)

⇒x/3

According to the question

⇒ x -6 = x/3

⇒ (x-x)/(3) = 6

⇒ 2/3 x = 6

⇒ x = (3 * 6)/(2)

⇒ x = 18/2

⇒ x = 9

Answer :

A number is 6 more than average of its half its one third and its one sixth , then the number is 9
