Question

One-third of a number w is 16

Answer 1

The value of the number w is;

`\begin{gathered} (w)/(3)=16 \\ w=48 \end{gathered}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that one-third of a number w is 16;

`(1)/(3)\text{ of w = 16}`

solving for w, we have;

`(1)/(3)* w=16`
`\begin{gathered} (w)/(3)=16 \\ w=3*16 \\ w=48 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the value of the number w is;

`w=48`
