Question

four added to half of one third of one sixth of a number is equal to one twelfth of a number . find the number

Answer 1

Answer: The number is 72.

Step-by-step explanation:

[ * means multiplication and / means division]

Let the number be x

According to question:

4 + ( 1/2 of 1/3 of 1/6 ) x = 1/12x

4 + (1/2 * 1/3 * 1/6) x = 1/12x

4 + 1/36x = 1/12x

4 = 1/12x - 1/36x

4 = 3 - 1 / 36 x

4 = 2/36 x

4 * 36 / 2 = x

72 = x

x = 72

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of $x=72$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

four added to half of one-third of one-sixth of a number is equal to one-twelfth of a number.

To find the number.

Step 1

Let the number be $x$

According to the question:

$&4+(1 / 2 \text { of } 1 / 3 \text { of } 1 / 6) x=1 / 12 x$

$&4+(1 / 2 * 1 / 3 * 1 / 6) x=1 / 12 x$

$&4+1 / 36 x=1 / 12 x$

Step 2

Subtract 4 from both sides

$4+\frac{1}{36} x-4=\frac{1}{12} x-4$

Simplify

$\frac{1}{36} x=\frac{1}{12} x-4$

Subtract $\frac{1}{12} x$ From both sides

$\frac{1}{36} x-\frac{1}{12} x=\frac{1}{12} x-4-\frac{1}{12} x$

Simplify

$-\frac{1}{18} x=-4$

Step 3

Multiply both sides by $-18$

$\left(-\frac{1}{18} x\right)(-18)=(-4)(-18)$

Simplify

$x=72$.

Therefore, the value of $x=72$.
