Question

One third of a number is 3054. What is the whole number?

Answer 1

3054 is 1/3 of a whole number.

In order to find the whole number, you need to find the other 2/3's. Since we already have the 1/3, we can easily solve this problem.

3054x3 = 9162

3054+3054+3054 = 9162

The whole number is 9162.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Explanation:

let the number be y

one-third of the number = 1/3 × y = y/3

the total is 3054

therefore,. y/3 = 3054

multiply both sides by 3

y/3 × 3 = 3054 × 3

y = 9162

Thus, the whole number is 9162
