Question

One-third of a number is greater than one-fourth of its successor by 1. find the number?

Answer 1

hi buddy

 · x/3 = (x + 1)/4 + 1 x/3 = (x + 1 + 4) / 4 4x = 3 * (x + 5) 4x = 3x + 15 4x - 3x = 15 x = 15 15.

Answer 2

Answer:

The number is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that one-third of a number is greater than one-fourth of its successor by 1.

we have to find the number.

Let the number be x

The successor of the above number is x+1

As one-third of a number is greater than one-fourth of its successor by 1.

$\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{1}{4}(x+1)+1$

$\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{1}{4}(x+1)=1$

$\frac{4x-3(x+1)}{12}=1$

$4x-3x-3=12$

$x=15$

Hence, the number is 15
