Question

A number when added to its one third gives result 16. Find the number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is 12 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. = x

2nd no. = x/3

A.T.C.

x+x/3 = 16

3x+x/3 = 16

4x/3 = 16

4x = 16×3

x = 16×3/4

x = 12.

1st no. = 12

2nd no. = 12/3

= 4....

Answer 2

In context to questions asked,

We have to determine the value of numbers.

As per questions,

We have,

A number when added to its one third gives result 16.

Let the number be x

So, one third of the number will be x/3

So, when number is added to one third of the number then we will get,

$x + \frac{x}{3} \\ = \frac{3x + x}{3} \\ \frac{4x}{3}$

As when number when added to its one third gives result 16.

So, we will get,

$\frac{4x}{3} = 16 \\ = > x = \frac{16 \times 3}{4} \\ x= 12$

Hence, the value of the number will be 12.
