Answer 1

✬ Number = 72 ✬

✬ Value = 108 ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• One third of a number is equal to 24.

To Find:

• What is the value of 3/2 times of that number?

Solution: Let the number be x. Therefore,

➟ One third of number = 1/3 × x

➟ One third = x/3

A/q

• One third of a number is equal to 24.

$\implies{\rm }$ x/3 = 24

$\implies{\rm }$ x = 24 × 3

$\implies{\rm }$ x = 72

Now we have to find 3/2 times of x

➟ 3/2 times of x = 3/2 × 72

➟ 3 × 36

➟ 108

Hence, the number was 72 and value of 3/2 times of 72 is 108.

[ Verification ]

➮ One third of x = 24

➮ 1/3 × 72 = 24

➮ 24 = 24
