hi friend here is your answer

Answer 2

Given, a number is $\dfrac{1}{4}$ of 10

So, let the number be $\dfrac{1}{4}$x


According to the question,

$\dfrac{1}{4}$x = 10

➾ 1x = 10 × 4

➾ 1x = 40

➾ x = $\dfrac{40}{1}$

➾ x = 40



∴ The number is 40



Verification :-


$\dfrac{1}{4}$x = 10

➾ $\dfrac{1}{4}$ × 40 = 10

Dividing 40 by 4, we get,

➾ 10 = 10

∴ LHS = RHS✔✔



∴ The number is 40
