Question

If one third of a number 24 less than the thrice of number find a number

Answer 1

Answer:

If one third of a number is 24, then the number is three times twenty-four.

Once you have calculated the number, take 3/4 of it to get your answer.

However (since multiplication is commutative), you can multiply 1/3 by 3/4 to get 1/4, then simply take a quarter of 24.
