Let's first call the number x. We can rewrite the clue as an equation: x/3 = 3 + x/4 We can rewrite this as: x/3 - x/4 = 3 Now multiply the whole equation by 12, which is the least common multiple of 3 and 4 4x - 3x = 36

Finally: x = 36

How would i set up this equation Two consecutive numbers onefourth of the first number is one more than onefifth of the second number?

Suppose the first number is x. Then the second number is x+1. A fourth of the first number is x/4 A fifth of the second number is (x+1)/5 So the equation is x/4 = (x+1)/5 + 1 Multiplying though by 20: 5x = 4x + 4 + 20 = 4x + 24 Subtracting 4x from both sides: x = 24

What number is greater than 25 but but has more factors than 21?

28 is the smallest number which satisfies these constraints, the next smallest numbers are 30, 32, and 36. This can be eaily calculated as the divisor function is a series on oeis A000005. 21 hsa 4 factors; 1, 3, 7, 21 as it is semi prime.


How is onefourth the same as 0.25?

one fourth is the same as .25, because .25 or 25cents is one fourth of 100 or a dollar,same as saying a fourth of 100 or a dollar is .25 or25 cents. Hope that helped, if it didn't ask an adult or a teacher, they might be able to help a little bit more

What is the solution in math?

A solution is an answer which satisfies all the constraints posed in the problem. Sometimes there can be more than one solution to a problem, sometimes there are no solutions to a problem. For example the solution to "3x+4=13" is the value of x which satisfies the equation. Of course it's (13-4)/3=3. "Name a day of the week that begins with a T" has two solutions, since Tuesday and Thursday both begin with T. "What number is bigger than 4 but less than 3" has no solutions.


How many faces and vertices does a gemstone have with 22 edges?

The number of vertices and faces is 2 more than the number of Edges according to Euler's formula. So a gemstone with 22 edges must have a total of 24 faces and vertices.

If one number exceeds twice another by three the difference of the two numbers is eight what are the two numbers?

* A - 2B= 3 * A - B = 8 (We don't know which of the numbers is the largest, so we'll try A first) If we subtract the lower equation from the upper, we get * 0A -1B = -5 ----- Therefore B = 5 * So A = 2(5) +3 = 13 So, 13 and 5 satisfies the first requirement, 13 is three more than twice 5, and the difference between 13 and 5 is 8, so that satisfies the second requirement.
