Question

half of a certain number added to its one fifth makes it 140. what is the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

let no be x

Step-by-step explanation:

one half of X + 1 upon 5 is equal to 140 X upon 2 + 1 upon 5 is equal to 140

6 X upon 3 is equal to 140

x is equal to 140 into 10 upon 6

Answer 2

Let the number be "x"

It's half = x/2

And it's one fifth = x/5

By adding the both half and one fifth number we get answer 140

Now by solving :-

x/2 + x/5 = 140

= 5x+2x/10 =140

7x =140×10

x = 1400/7

x= 200

For verification:-

1) x/2 = 200/2

= 100

2) x/5 = 200/5

= 40

We have solved this by adding.

So, add:-

100+40 =140

Now the answer is 200. If you thought it iscorrect please like,rate and make this answer as brianlist answer
