Answer 1

QUESTION ----- Find a number such that one fifth of it is less than one fourth of it by 3

ANSWER
____________________________

Let the number be x

1/5 of x = x/5
1/4 of x = x/4

ACCORDING to QUESTION,

x/4 - x/5 = 3

LCM of 5&4 = 20

=> (5x - 4x) / 20 = 3

=> x/20 = 3

=> x = 20 × 3

=> x = 60

_____________________________

ANSWER = NUMBER = 60

Answer 2

Answer:Let the number be x

1/5*x=x/5

1/4*x=x/4

According to the question

x/4-x/5=3

Taking the LCM of 4and5

Then we subtract LHS

Then we get,

5x/20-4x/20=3

x/20=3

x=3*20

=60
