Question

A number when added to a 2/3 is equal to 55 find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

The number to be added is $\frac{163}{3}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number added to $\frac{2}{3}$ for the result to be 55 be x.

The equation is:

$\frac{2}{3}+x=55$

Solve for x as follows:

$\frac{2}{3}+x=55\\x=55-\frac{2}{3}\\=\frac{165-2}{3}\\ =\frac{163}{3}$

Thus, the number to be added is $\frac{163}{3}$.
