Question

Thrice the sum of three fifths and two third less one half is what number?

Answer 1

GIVEN :

The statement is Thrice the sum of the three-fifth and two-third less one-half.

TO FIND :

The number for the given "Thrice the sum of three-fifths and two-third less one half"

SOLUTION :

Given that thrice the sum of three-fifths and two-third less one half .

It can be written as $3\times (\frac{3}{5}+\frac{2}{3})-\frac{1}{2}$

Now the solving the expression as below :

$3\times (\frac{3}{5}+\frac{2}{3})-\frac{1}{2}$

$=3\times (\frac{9+10}{15})-\frac{1}{2}$

$=3\times (\frac{19}{15})-\frac{1}{2}$

$=\frac{19}{5}-\frac{1}{2}$

$=\frac{38-5}{10}$

$=\frac{33}{10}$

⇒ $3\times (\frac{3}{5}+\frac{2}{3})-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{33}{10}$

∴ Thrice the sum of three-fifths and two-third less one half is $\frac{33}{10}$

⇒ Thrice the sum of three-fifths and two-third less one half is the number ( thirty three-tenth).
