Let the number be x
One third of the number is x*1/3= x/3
4 more than 5 = 5+4= 9
According to the question,
x/3=9
=>x= 9*3= 27.
.: The number is 27.

Answer 2

Answer:

The number whose one-third is 4 more than 5 is 27 .

Explanation:

On answering this type of questions, understand the question by breaking the sentence into two parts.

Given that, the one-third of the number is 4 more than 5

Let us assume that the number is X.

$\frac{1}{3}$ of x is 4 greater tha n 5

Hence,

$\frac{1}{3} x=4+5$

On adding 4 and 5,

$\frac{X}{3}=9$

we get,

$x=27$

So, the number is 27.
