Question

One third of anumber is 2 more than one- fourth of the number find the number​

Answer 1

Let the number be x

One third of the number =x/3

One fourth of the number =x/4

∴x/3−x/4=2

=4x − 3x/12 = 2

x=24

The required number is 24

Answer 2

$\purple{ \underline{\huge \sf \fbox{ \: \pink{Solution } \red{:}</p><p> \: \: \: }}}$

Let , the number be x

So , one third of a number = x/3

One fourth of a number = x/4

According to the question ,

$\sf \hookrightarrow \frac{x}{3} = 2 + \frac{x}{4} \\ \\\sf \hookrightarrow \frac{x}{3} = \frac{8 + x}{4} \\ \\\sf \hookrightarrow 4x = 24 + 3x \\ \\\sf \hookrightarrow x = 24$

Hence , the required number is 24
