Question

If 1/6 is subtracted from a rational number and the difference is multiplied by 5, the result is twice the given rational number . Find the rational number. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the rational number be x

If 1/6 is subtracted = x-1/6

Difference multiplied by 5 = 5(x-1/6)

As per as the problem

5(x-1/6) = 2x

5x-5/6 = 2x

5x-2x = 5/6

3x = 5/6

x = 5/6 × 1/3

x = 5/18

THEREFORE THE ANSWER IS 5/18.
