Question

two third of a number is greater than one third of a number by 3 find the number

Answer 1

Let the required number be x .
therefore ,
two third of the number = 2x/3
one third of the number = x/3
now,
according to the question,
2x/3 - x/3 = 3
the number = ?
=> 2x/3 - x/3 = 3
=> (2x-x)/3 = 3
=> x/3 = 3
=> therefore,
=> x = 9
You can check the value out by evaluating it on the equation,
2x/3 - x/3 = 3
