Question

Four fifths of a number is greater than three fourth of the number by 4.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Four fifth of a number is greater than three three fourth of the number by 4. What is the number?

Solution: Let the number = x, then

4x/5 =(15x/4) + 4

16x = 75x + 80

-59x = 80, or

x = -80/59. Answer.

The answer seems absurd because the question is also absurd.

Check: (4/5)*(-80/59) = -1.084745763

RHS = 4+(15/4)*(-80/59) = -1.084745763
