Question

two third of a number is greater than the one fourth of a number by 35.Find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 280 and 105.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x

2/3 of the number is = 2x/3

1/4 of the number is = x/4

2x/3 - x/4 = 35(take the LCM of 3 and 4, that will be 12)

2x/12 - x/12 = 35

x/12 = 35

x = 35*12

x = 420

Fill the value in the place of x

2x/3 = 2*420/3

        = 840/3

        = 280

x/4 = 420/4

     =105

Therefore, the numbers are 2/3=280

                                               1/4=105

Also to verify this, 280 is greater than 105 which is according to the question.

Hope this helps you!
