Question

half of one fourth of one third of a number is 8 . Then what will be (3/8)th of that number?​

Answer 1

Answer:

3/8th of the given number is 72.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the given number be x.

Half of one fourth of one third of the given number is 8.

In other words,

$\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{3} \times x=8$

$\frac{1}{24} \times x=8$

$x= 8 \times 24$

$x=192$.

Therefore the given number is 192.

We have to calculate (3/8)th of 192.

$\frac{3}{8} \times 192= 72$

That is, 3/8th of the given number is 72.
