Question

One fourth of a number is 8 find the number

Answer 1

$\sf\underline{\underline{\red{\sf Question}}}:$

• One fourth of a number is 8. find the number.

$\sf\underline{\underline{\red{\sf Solution}}}:$

Let us assume the number be x.

According to the question, $\sf\dfrac{1}{4} \;of \; x \; is\; 8$

So,

$\longmapsto \sf \dfrac{1}{4}\times x = 8$

$\longmapsto\sf \dfrac{x}{4}=8$

Multiplying both sides by 4.

$\longmapsto\sf \dfrac{x}{4}\times\green 4=8\times\green 4$

$\longmapsto\sf\dfrac{\cancel{4}x}{\cancel{4}}=32$

$\longmapsto \mathfrak x = 32$

Hence,

• Required number is 32.

$\sf\underline{\underline{\red{\sf Verfication}}}:$

$\longmapsto \sf\dfrac{1}{4}\times 32=8\\\\\sf\longmapsto\dfrac{32}{4}=8\\\\\sf\longmapsto 8 = 8$

Hence verified ..!!
