Question

one third of a number exceeds one sixth of the number by 4. What will be the answer ....... but first I am in class 7 so please give me answer of my level. please​

Answer 1

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let that required number is x

one third of a number means it is 1/3 * x = x/3

like this, one sixth of the number is x/6

one third of a number exceeds one sixth of the number

this means x/3 is greater than x/6

by 4

difference of x/3 and x/6 gives 4

or if we add 4 to x/6 it will be x/3

or if we substract 4 from x/3 it will be x/6

x/3 - x/6 = 4

(1/3 - 1/6)x = 4

(2-1)/6 * x = 4

x/6 = 4

x= 24
