Question

A number is as much greater than 35 as is less than 53 find the numbers

Answer 1

let the number be x.

the number is as much greater than 35 as is less than 53.

then, we have, x-35 = 53-x or, 2x = 88 or x= 44

since the number 44 is greater than 35 with 9 unit and less than 53 with 9 unit then our answer is 44.

alternative process:

here the question is to find the mid value of 35 and 53. so, we have the answer = (35+53)/2 = 44. note that we have only one number which is as much greater than 35 as is less than 53.
