Let the no. be x
Therefore,
x/3-x/5=4
=>(5x-3x)÷15=4
=>2x=4×15
=>x=(4×15)÷2
=>x=30

Ans.The required no. is 30

Answer 2

Answer:

your answer is 30...

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

$\frac{1}{3} of \: x = \frac{1}{3} \times x = \frac{x}{3} \\ \frac{1}{5} of \: x = \frac{1}{5} \times x = \frac{x}{5} \\ \\ given \: \frac{x}{3} exceeds \: \frac{x}{5} by4 \\ \\ \frac{x}{3} - \frac{x}{5} = 4 \\ \frac{5x - 3x}{15} = 4 \\ \\ 5x - 3x = 15 \times 4 \\ 2x = 60 \\ x = \frac{60}{2} \\ x = 30$

therefore the number is 30//
