Question

sakshi takes some flowers in a basket and visits three templr one by one at each temple she offers one half of the flowers from the basket if she is left with 6 flowers at the end find the number of flowers she had in the begining

Answer 1

let 'n' be the total number of flowers in the basket
she offers half of the flowers to each temple, so
n/(2x2x2) = 6
n = 6 x 8 = 48

Answer 2

The number of flower Sakshi had in the beginning = 48 .

• Let number of initial flower be x.
• After visiting the first temple , number of remaining flowers = x/2
• After visiting the second temple , number of remaining flowers = x/4
• After visiting the third temple , number of remaining flowers = x/8
• According to the question,

       (x/8) = 6

        x = 48
