​

Answer 1

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no be 'x'

Given,

5/6(x)=36+1/12(x)

5/6(x)-1/12(x)=36

10(x)-1(x)=36*12

9x=36*12

x=4*12

x=48

hope i helped :)

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the number be x

5/6 *x = 1/12*x + 36

5x/ 6 = x/12 + 36

5x/ 6 - x/12 = 36

10x/12 - x/12 = 36

9x/12 = 36

9x = 36*12 = 432

So x = 432/9 = 48
