Answer 2

Answer:

number = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

Therefore, 2/3 of the number = 2 x/3

and 5/9 of the number = 5 x/9

So, according to the given condition,

2 x/3 - 5 x/9 = 8

Therefore, 6 x/9 - 5 x/9 = 8 ( Equalizing the denominator)

6 x - 5 x /9 = 8

6 x - 5 x = 72

x = 72
