​

Answer 1

Given :-

• When 1/3 is subtracted from a number and the difference is multiplied by 4 , the result is 28 .

To find :-

• Required number

Solution :-

• It is given that when 1/3 is subtracted from a number

So, let the required number be x

• x - 1/3

According to the given condition

• The difference is multiplied by 4 , the result is 28 .

→ 4(x - ⅓) = 28

→ 4x - 4/3 = 28

→ 4x = 28 + 4/3

→ 4x = 84 + 4/3

→ 4x = 88/3

→ x = 88/4 × 3

→ x = 22/3

Therefore x = 22/3

Hence,

• Required number is 22/3

Answer 2

ɢɪᴠᴇɴ:-

• When 1/3 is subtracted from a number and the difference is multiplied by 4 , the result is 28 .

ᴛᴏ ғɪɴᴅ:-

• The required number_?

ᴇxᴘʟᴀɴᴀᴛɪᴏɴ:-

Let the required number be x.

$\sf\pink{↬}$x - $\dfrac{1}{3}$

According to the question,

4($\dfrac{x-1}{3}$) = 28

4x - $\dfrac{4}{3}$ = 28

4x = 28 + $\dfrac{4}{3}$

4x = 84 + $\dfrac{4}{3}$

4x = $\dfrac{88}{3}$

x = $\dfrac{88}{4}$× 3

x = $\dfrac{22}{3}$

Therefore,

$\sf\green{↬}$x = $\dfrac{22}{3}$
