Answer:

The unknown number is 66.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that we need to find the number that is 55 when calculated as 5/6 or the whole number. First, we must divide 55 by 5.

55 ÷ 5 = 11

This means that 1/6 of the unknown number is 11.

Now, let's multiply 11 by 6.

11 x 6 = 66

Therefore, the unknown number is 66.

Hope this helps! :)

There are two numbers. The first number minus the second number is 15. One-third of the sum of the numbers is one quarter of the
disa [49]

Answer:

So the numbers are 12 and -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we will attribute variables to the numbers, the first one will be "x" and the second one will be "y". From the first sentence we know that the subtraction of the two numbers is equal to 15, so we have:

x - y = 15

Then the problem states that one-third of the sum of the number is equal to one quarter of the first number, so we have:

(1/3)*(x+y) = x/4

Since we now have two equations and two variables we can solve for x and y. From the first equation we have:

y = x - 15

Using this expression for the value of y in the second equation:

(1/3)*(x + x - 15) = x/4

(1/3)*(2*x - 15) = x/4

2*x - 15 = 3*x/4

2*x - 3*x/4 = 15

(8*x - 3*x)/4 = 15

5*x/4 = 15

5*x = 60

x = 60/5 = 12

y = x - 15 = 12 - 15 = -3

So the numbers are 12 and -3.
