Question

if 2/3of a number exceeds its 3/5 by 1 ,find the number

Answer 1

2/3a-1=3/2
2/3a=3/2+1
2/3 a=3+2/2
2/3a=5/2
a=(5/2)÷(2/3)
a=(5/2)×(3/2)
a=15/4

Answer 2

Hey

Here is your answer,

Let the unknown number be x.

(2/3)x - (3/5)x = 1

when we take LCM of 3 and 5,

10x - 9x / 15 = 1

X / 15 = 1

X = 15

Therefore the number x is 15.

Hope it helps you!
