Question

If the quotient of a number and 4 is added to one half comma the result is five fourths . Find the number.

Answer 1

Answer : The number will be, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be, 'x'

As we are given that the quotient of a number and 4 is added to 1/2, then the result is 5/4.

Thus, the expression will be:

`(x)/(4)+(1)/(2)=(5)/(4)`

Now by solving the expression, we get the value of 'x'.

`(x+2)/(4)=(5)/(4)`

`x+2=5`

`x=5-2`

`x=3`

Thus, the number will be, 2
