The sum of two numbers is 208.

x + y = 208


One third of the greater number equals the smallest number.

x / 3 = y



Substitute the value for "y" in the first equation:

x + (x/3) = 208



Multiply everything by 3:

3x + x = 624



Combine the values of x:

4x = 624



Divide by 4:

x = 156



Solve for y:

156 + y = 208
y = 208 - 156
y = 52

No. Numbers are infinitely dense and that means there is never a "next" number. 98.61 is greater than 98.6 but smaller than 98.7 which claims to be smallest. 98.601 is greater than 98.6 but smaller than 98.61 which claims to be smallest. 98.6001 is greater than 98.6 but smaller than 98.601 which claims to be smallest. and so on, and on, and on.

There is no such number. If you give me any number and claim that it is the smallest number greater than 9.5, then the average of that number and 9.5 will be (a) greater than 9.5 and (b) smaller than the number you gave me.
