Let the number be x
We know that,
Half of number = x /2
One third of number = x /3
One sixth of the number = x /6
Average of the half, one - third and one - sixth
=( x /2 + x/3+x /6) /3
= (3x + 2x + x /6)/3
=x /3
According to question,
x -6 = x/3
x - x/3 = 6
2/3 x = 6
x =18/2 = 9
Therefore, The required number is 9
Hope this helps!
