Answer 2

Determining a Number

Answer: required number is 9.

Explanation:

given that

half a number is 3 more than the 1/6 of the same number

Need to determine the number.

lets assume the number be represented by variable y.

then half of the number will be (1/2) × y = y/2

and 1/6 of the number will be (1/6) ×y = y/6

As half of the number is 3 more than the 1/6 of the same number , it means if we subtract 3 from half of the number  , we will get 1/6 of the same number .

=> (y/2) - 3 = y/6

On Solving above one variable equation for y we get

(y - 6) / 2 = y/6

=> y - 6 = 2 x y/6

=> y - 6 = y/3

=> 3( y - 6) = y

=> 3y - 18 = y

=> 3y - y = 18

=> 2y = 18

=> y = 18/2 = 9

so required number is 9.

we can also check this .

half the number = 9/2 , 1/6 of number = 9/6 = 3/2

on substrating 3 from half the number we get

9/2 - 3 = (9 - 6)/2 = 3/2 that is 1/6 of number , hence our solution is correct.
