Question

When a number, half of the number, and a third of the number are added together, the

sum is 275. Find the three numbers.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the number be x.

Half of a number is x/2 and a third of the number is x/3

ATQ,

`x+(x)/(2)+(x)/(3)=275\\\\(6x+3x+2x)/(6)=275\\\\(11x)/(6)=275\\\\x=(275* 6)/(11)\\\\x=150`

Frist no is 150

Second no is 150/2 = 75

Third no is 50
