Question

one third of a number divided b17 equal to 2 what is the number​

Answer 1

$\huge{\boxed{\sf{SOLUTION :}}}$

Let,

The number be x

So, the number will be x/3

According to question,

$\frac{x}{3} \div 17 = 2 \\ \frac{x}{3} = \frac{2}{17}$

Cross multiplying, we get,

$17x = 6$

$x = \frac{6}{17}$

Hence, the number =

$\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{6}{17}$

$\frac{6}{51}$

Hence,

Hence,The required answer or value is 6/51

Step-by-step explanation:

$\huge{\red{\boxed{\boxed{\green{\underline{\red{\sf{SOLUTION-}}}}}}}}$

According to the given question we have

information that if one third of a number

is divided by 17 it is equal to 2.

□Let number be = x/3

$\frac{x}{3} \div1 7 = 2 \\ = ) \frac{ \frac{x}{3} }{17} = 2 \\ = ) \frac{x}{17 \times 3} = 2 \\ = ) \frac{x}{51} = 2 \\ = )x = 102 \\ \\ verification \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: lhs \\ \frac{x}{3} \div 17 \\ putting \: value \: of \: x \: from \: above \\ = ) \frac{102}{3} \div 17 \\ = )34 \div 17 \\ = ) \frac{34}{17} \\ = )2 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: rhs \: proved$
