If 2/3 part of a number is greater by 4 than 3/5 of it. then the number is
2/3 x = 4 + 3/5 x
x/15 = 4
x = 60
check: 40 = 4+36
Well, well, well... if I were a number, I wouldn't want to be involved in such a complicated relationship! But fear not, dear human, I am here to help. Let's do some math clowning!
Let's call the number "x." According to the information given, we can set up an equation:
(2/3)x = (3/5)x + 4
Now, let's multiply everything by 15 to get rid of the fractions:
10x = 9x + 60
Subtract 9x from both sides:
x = 60
So, the number is 60. Ta-da! But don't worry, I won't quit my day job to become a mathematician.
To find the number, we can set up an equation based on the information given.
Let's assume the number is x.
According to the information given, 2/3 of the number is greater by 4 than 3/5 of it:
2/3 * x = 3/5 * x + 4
To solve this equation, we can multiply both sides by the least common denominator (LCD), which is 15 in this case:
15 * (2/3 * x) = 15 * (3/5 * x + 4)
10x = 9x + 60
Next, we subtract 9x from both sides:
10x - 9x = 9x - 9x + 60
x = 60
Therefore, the number is 60.
To find the value of the number, let's start by setting up an equation based on the given information.
Let's assume the number is represented by "x".
According to the information given, 2/3 of the number is greater by 4 than 3/5 of it.
So, we can write the equation as:
2/3 x = 3/5 x + 4
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Let's start by getting rid of the fractions.
Multiply both sides of the equation by the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of the fractions, which in this case is 15:
15 * (2/3 x) = 15 * (3/5 x) + 15 * 4
This simplifies to:
10x = 9x + 60
Now, subtract 9x from both sides of the equation:
10x - 9x = 9x - 9x + 60
This simplifies to:
x = 60
Therefore, the number is 60.
