x/4= 6+5
x/4= 11
x=11*4
x=44
The number is 44

Answer 2

The number is 44.

Given - one fourth of a number is 5 more than 6

Find - number

Solution - Firstly writing the given information about number as mathematical equation. Let the number be x.

The Left Hand Side of equation will be -

$x \times \frac{1}{4}$

Right Hand Side of the equation will be -

6 + 5

Equating both the sides to find the number

$\frac{x}{4} = 6 + 5$

Performing addition on Right Hand Side

$\frac{x}{4} = 11$

Shifting 4 to Right Hand Side and performing multiplication

x = 44

Hence, the number is 44.
