Question

One third of a number exceeds one fourth of the number by 3. Find the number

Answer 1

Here's the Answer :

Let the number be x.

=> According To Question.

$\frac x 3$ - $\frac x 4$ = 3

x /3 - x /4 = 3
4x - 3x /12 = 3
4x - 3x = 3 × 12
x = 36

Answer 2

The required number is 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

To find, the number = ?

According to question,

$\dfrac{x}{3}-\dfrac{x}{4}=3$

The LCM of 3 and 4 = 12

⇒ $\dfrac{4x-3x}{12}=3$

⇒ $\dfrac{x}{12}=3$

⇒ $x=3\times 12$

⇒ x = 36

Hence, the required number is 36.
