Question

one fourth of a number added to itself gives 10 . Find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

According to question,

$\frac{1x}{4} + x \: = 10 \\ \frac{x}{4} + \frac{4x}{4} = 10 \\ \frac{x + 4x}{4} = 10 \\ \frac{5x}{4} = 10 \\ x = 10 \div \frac{5}{4} \\ x = 10 \times \frac{4}{5} \\ x = 8$

Answer 2

Answer:

The number is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x:

ATQ:

$(x \times \frac{1}{4} ) + x = 10$

$( \frac{x}{4} + x) = 10$

$\frac{x + 4x}{4} = 10$

$\frac{5x}{4} = 10$

Multiplying both sides by 4, we get:

$5x = 40$

$x = \frac{40}{5}$

$x = 8$

hence, the number is 8.

hope it helps :)
