Question

amina thinks of a number and subtracts 5/6 from it. she multiples the result by 8. the result now obtained is 3times the same she thought of. what is the number? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

4/3 is the number she thought of

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number she thought be 'x'

She subtracted 5/6 from x

so the answer is x-(5/6)

Multiply the result by 8

8 (x-(5/6))

=8x-8*(5/6)

=8x-(20/3)

The answer is 3 times x

Make an equation...

8x-(20/3)=3x

8x-3x=20/3

5x=20/3

x=(20/3)*1/5

x=4/3

Confirmation...

8 ((4/3)-(5/6))=3*(4/3)

8 ((8-5)/6)=4

8 (3/6)=4

8*1/2=4

8/2=4

Hope it helps......
