Question

The sum of half of a number and 49 is 2¼ of the number. Find the number.

Answer 1

Answer:

-93.5 is the number.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no. be x.

half the no.= x/2

ATQ,

x/2 + 49 = 4×2+1 (solving the mixed fraction)

x/2 + 49 = 9/4

x/2 = 9/4 - 49

x/2 = -187/4

x = -187/2

x = -93.5

Answer 2

Consider X be the number

X÷2+49=9X÷4

49=9X÷4-X÷2

49=9X-2X÷4

49×4=7X

X=49×4÷7

X=7×4

X=28
