Question

If three -fourth of a number is one -tenths ,what is the number?

Answer 1

The number is $\frac{2}{15}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take a number = x

Three-fourth of a number = $\frac{3}{4}\times x$

Given, three-fourth of a number is one-tenths.

=> $\frac{3}{4} \times x = \frac{1}{10}$

=> $x = \frac{1}{10} \times \frac{4}{3}$

=> $x=\frac{2}{15}$

Hence, the number is $\frac{2}{15}$

Answer 2

Given:

A number whose 3/4th is equal to 1/10

To find:

The number

Solution:

We can find the solution by following a few simple steps-

Let us assume that the number is X.

Three-fourth of X=3X/4

We are given that this is equal to 1/10

So, 3X/4=1/10

X=4/3×10

=4/30

=2/15

Therefore, three-fourth of 2/15 is one-tenths.
