Question

One /fourth of a number is 5

Answer 1

Question :

⟹ $\large\mathtt{\frac{1}{4}}$ of a number is 5

$\:$

Answer :

⟹ Let the number be x

⟹ $\large\bf{\sf{\mathtt{\frac{1}{4}}{×x=5}}}$

⟹ $\large\bf{\sf{\mathtt{x=5×4}}}$ ( after transporting 4 to RHS )

⟹ $\Large\bf{\sf{\mathtt{\boxed{\boxed{\color{teal}{\underline{x=20}}}}}}}$

$\:$

Verification :

• Substitute the value of x in the given equation .

⟹ $\large\mathtt{\frac{1}{4}}{×20=5}$

⟹ $\large\mathtt{\cancel{\frac{1}{4}}}{\cancel{×20}}{=5}$

⟹ $\large\mathtt{5=5}$

⟹ $\large\mathtt{LHS=RHS}$

$\:$

$\Large\mathtt{\boxed{\boxed{\color{maroon}{ᕼEᑎᑕE\:ᐯEᖇIᖴIEᗪ}}}}$

Answer 2

x/4 = 5
x = 5x4
X= 20
