Question

two thirds of 1/2 substrated from a number is equal to 1/6.find the number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$= \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{2} - x = \frac{1}{6}$

$- x = \frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{3}$

$- x = \frac{1 - 2}{6}$

$- x = - \frac{1}{6}$

$x = \frac{1}{6}$

Answer 2

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Two third means 2/3, two third of x is 2/3x

As per statement, two thirds of a number subtracted from forty two is thirty. Accordingly

42 - 2/3x = 30

42 - 30 - 2/3 X = 0

12 - 2/3x = 0

12 = 2/3x

Or 2x/3 = 12

Cross multiplication

2x = 12 × 3

2x = 36

x = 36/2

x = 18

The number is 18
