Question

One quarter of a certain number added to one eighth of the same number is 12. What is the number​

Answer 1

32

let the number be n , then

`(1)/(4)` n +
`(1)/(8)` n = 12 ( multiply through by 8 to clear the fractions )

2n + n = 96

3n = 96 ( divide both sides by 3 )

n = 32

The number is 32
