Subtract the both fractions
You Wii get the answer to that question

Answer 2

Answer: The number whose one fifth exceeds one seventh by 10 is 175.

Given:

One fifth of number exceeds one seventh of number by 10.

Solution:

Let the given number be x and operation of subtraction is done since the one number exceeds the other number.

That is $\left(\frac{1}{5} \times x\right)-\left(\frac{1}{7} \times x\right)=10$

$\begin{array}{l}{\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{5}\right)-\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{7}\right)=10} \\\\ {\frac{7 \mathrm{x}-5 \mathrm{x}}{35}=10} \\\\ {\frac{2 \mathrm{x}}{35}=10}\end{array}$

2x = 350

$x=\frac{350}{2}$

x = 175
