The number is -6.67

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "n" be the number

From given,

\text{ Five less than 1/5 times a number } = \frac{1}{5}n - 5 = \frac{5}{n} - 5

\text{Sum of number and 1/3 } = n + \frac{1}{3} =\frac{3n+1}{3}

Given that,

Five less than 1/5 times a number is the same as the sum of the number and 1/3

Therefore, we get,

\frac{n}{5} - 5 = n + \frac{1}{3}\\\\Simplify\ the\ expression\\\\n - 25 = 5(n + \frac{1}{3})\\\\n - 25 = 5n + \frac{5}{3}\\\\n - 25 = \frac{15n + 5}{3}\\\\3n - 75 = 15n + 5\\\\12n = -80\\\\n = -6.67

Thus the number is -6.67

Simplify.
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression √3/√8, we can first simplify the square root terms by finding the prime factorization of each number under the square root. The prime factorization of 3 is 3, and the prime factorization of 8 is 2 * 2 * 2.

We can then rewrite the square root terms as follows:

√3/√8 = √(3) / √(2 * 2 * 2)

Next, we can use the property of square roots that says that the square root of a number is equal to the square root of each of its prime factors. This means that we can rewrite the square root term as follows:

√(3) / √(2 * 2 * 2) = √(3) / √(2) / √(2) / √(2)

Since the square root of a number is the same as the number itself, we can simplify the expression further by removing the square root symbols from the prime numbers 2:

√(3) / √(2) / √(2) / √(2) = √(3) / 2 / 2 / 2

Finally, we can use the rules of division to simplify the expression even further:

√(3) / 2 / 2 / 2 = √(3) / (2 * 2 * 2)

Since any number divided by itself is equal to 1, we can simplify the expression one last time to get our final answer:

√(3) / (2 * 2 * 2) = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

Therefore, the simplified form of the expression √3/√8 is 1/8.
