Answer:

(a) 9 (b) 11/3

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Add 4 to one fourth of 20.

⇒ 4 + 1/4 x 20

⇒ 4 + 5

⇒ 9

(b) If you take away 5 from 15 times a number you get 50.

Let the number be 'y'

⇒ 15y - 5 = 50

⇒ 15y = 50 + 5

⇒ 15y = 55

⇒ y = 55/15

∴ y = 11/3 = 3.666666666666667

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Given:

• Two numbers: 20 and its one - fourth

To find:

• The result when 20 and its one - fourth are added.

Solution:

Since we need to find the number, let us add 20 with its one - fourth.

The number obtained is:

= 20 + 20 × (one - fourth)

= 20 + 20 × 1/4

= 20 + 5

= 25

Hence, the number obtained after adding 20 with one - fourth is 25.

Note:

It is necessary to read the question carefully. If you see the statement, 'its one - fourth' that means, one - fourth of 20. Here, 'its' plays a major tricky role in the question.
