Question

find a number such that one fourth of the number is 3 more than 7 ...

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of the number x from the given statement will be 40.  

To find:

The value of the number x.

Solution:

Let us consider the number be x

From the given statement,  

one fourth of x will be the number 3 in addition to the number 7.

Thus the value x will becomes,  

$\begin{array} { c } { \frac { 1 } { 4 } \times x = 3 +7 } \\\\ { \frac { 1 } { 4 } x = 10 } \\\\ { x = 10 \times 4 } \\\\ { x = 40 } \end{array}$

Thus, the value of the number x derived from the given statement will be 40.

Answer 2

Answer:

$Required\: number = 40$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

$one\: fourth \:of \:the\\number =\frac{x}{4}$

According to the problem given,

$\frac{x}{4}=7+3$

$\implies \frac{x}{4}=10$

$\implies x = 10\times 4$

$\implies x = 40$

Therefore,

$Required\: number = 40$
