Question

Two third of a number is greater than one third of the number by 3. Find the number

Answer 1

Here,

let the number be x

Now, according to the question =>

(2/3)x = (1/3x) +3

=>2x/3 = x/3 + 3

=> 2x/3 = (x+9)/3

=>2x = x+9

(on multiplying both sides by 3)

=>3x = 9

=>x = 3

Hence the number is 3

Thanks

Answer 2

Let m be the number.
Then given (2/3)m=(1/3)m+3
(1/3)m=3
m=9

So the number is 9
