Answer 2

Answer -

• The number = 16.

To find -

• The number.

Step-by-step explanation -

Let the number be "x".

Then -

• $\rm Half \: of \: the \: number \:will\: be\: \dfrac{1}{2} x$

• $\rm One\!-\!fourth \: of \: the\: number \:will\: be\: \dfrac{1}{4}x$

Given that -

• The sum of the number, it's half and it's one-fourth is 28.

Therefore -

$\implies \sf x + \dfrac{1}{2} x + \dfrac{1}{4} x = 28$

$\implies \sf x + \dfrac{x}{2} + \dfrac{x}{4} = 28$

$\implies \sf \dfrac{(x \times 4) + ( x\times 2) + (x \times 1)}{4} = 28$

$\implies \sf \dfrac{4x + 2x + x}{4} = 28$

$\implies \sf \dfrac{7x}{4} = 28$

$\implies \sf 7x = 28 \times 4$

$\implies \sf 7x = 112$

$\implies \sf x = \cancel{\dfrac{112}{7} }$

$\implies \sf x = 16$

Hence -

• The number is 16.
