Question

If the quotient of a number and 6 is added to 1/3, the result is 7/6. Find the number.

Answer 1

The number is 4.

What is the Quotient?

A quotient is defined as the outcome of dividing an integer by any divisor that can be said to be a quotient. The dividend contains the divisor a specific number of times.

Let n be the number in question; then, we can write the word problem as an equation like this:

⇒ (n/6) + 1/3 = 7/6

Multiply everything by the least common multiple of all the denominators (6, 3, 6), which is 6.  

⇒ 6(n/6) + 9(1/3) = 6(7/6)

⇒ n + 3 = 7

Subtract 3 from both sides,

⇒ n = 4

Hence, the number is 4.
