Question

one sixth of a number is 16 less than the one fourth of the number find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number be 24x. One sixth of a number =>1/6(24x) => 4x. One fourth of a number =>1/4(24x) => 6x. It is said that one sixth of a number is 16 less than the one fourth of the number. 6x-4x=16 => 2x =16 => x =8. So the number given is 24x =>24(8) => 192. The number is 192. Hope it helps you.
