What is One-third of a number is five-sixths. Find The number? Someone Please Help. Again One-third of a numbe

Answer 1

Let number = A
(1/3) A = 5/6
A = 15/6
A = 2 3/6
A = 2 ½

Answer 2

2.5

5/6 x 3 = 15/6 =2.5

(If one-third of a number is x, then the number is 3 multiplied by x)

Answer 3

Let x = the number.
1/3(x) =5/6
x/3 = 5/6

Multiply the equation by 6:
6x/3 = 5
2x = 5
Solving for X, divide the equation by 2:
x = 5/2, the number

Answer 4

I love Math questions...maybe I should've majored in Math...

one-third of something is 5/6

now we have an equation...equations are good

1/3 of something = 5/6

solve for "something" by multiplying both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction

your answer is 5/6 times 3 or, simplified, 5/2

Answer 5

1/3 of x = 5/6
The people above are getting the answers by inverting (turning upside down) the 1/3.

Just wanted you to know where the "3" in their calculations came from. The "1" in that fraction disappeared because 1 times anything is the same.

Answer 6

ok i do help you,

solution:

let x = is the number,

from the question,

(1/3) x = (5 / 6)

solve for x,

cross multiply, the equation

6 x = 15

x = 5 / 2

x = 2.5 is the number.

to check, substitute x in the equation

(1/3) (5/2) = (5/6)


5 / 6 = 5 / 6

hope you got it!

Answer 7

here's the working... i think it's something like this

1/3 x y = 5/6
y=5/6 x 3
y= 15/6 OR 2 3/6 OR 2 1/2

Answer 8

let x be the number
(1/3)x= 5/6
x= 5/6*3
=15/6 = 5/2
to verify : 5/2/3 = 5/6
5/2*1/3 = 5/6
5/6= 5/6
the answer is 5/6

Answer 9

(5/6) x 3= (15/6) = (5/2)

Answer 10

1/3 * 5/6
1*6 / 3*5
6/15

2.5
