Question

Three-fourth of a number is more than one-fourth of same number by 2. Find the number​

Answer 1

Given: Three-fourth of a number is more than one-fourth of the same number by 2.

We have to find the number​.

We are solving in the following way:

Let assume the number be$x$.

From the given statement we can write:

$\frac{3}{4} x=\frac{1}{4} x+2$

$\Rightarrow\frac{3x}{4} =\frac{x}{4} +2\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{3x}{4} -\frac{x}{4} =2 \\\\\Rightarrow \frac{3x-x}{4} =2\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{2x}{4} =2\\\\\Rightarrow2x=2\times 4\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=8\\\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{8}{2}$

Solving the above equation further we get,

$\Rightarrow x=4$

Hence, the number will be$4$.
