Question

one-third of a number exceed one-fifth it self by 4 find the number

Answer 1

Heya friend!!
Rajdeep here....

Let the number be x.
One third of x = x/3
One fifth of x = x/5

Given, x/3 - x/5 = 4
=> 5x - 3x/15 = 4
=> 2x = 60
=> x = 60/2
=> x = 30

So, the number is 30.
Hope you have got your answer.
Thanks!

Answer 2

Let the number be x
So,
1/3x = 1/5x + 4.
1/3x - 1/5x = 4.
2x / 15 = 4.
2x = 60.
The number x = 30.
