Question

Find a number such that one fifth of it is less than one forth of it by 3

Answer 1

Hello Dear!!!

Here's your answer...

Let,

The number be 'x'

one fifth of x is

1/5 *x

x/5

one fourth of x is

1/4 * x

x/4

one fifth of a number is less than one fourth by 3

x/5 + 3 = x/4

3 = x/4 - x/5

3 = 5x/20 - 4x/20

3 = x/20

3*20 = x

60 = x

The unknown number is 60
