Let's say the number is x.

The equation will be:
1/3x + 12 = x
(one third of a number + 12 equals to the number)
Solving the equation:
subtract 1/3x from both sides:
12 = 2/3x
divide by 2
6 = 1/3x
multiply with 3
18 = x

Your number is 18, its one-third is 6, which is 12 less than the number itself.

A warehouse worker moved 108 pallets in 4.5 hours. In minutes, what is the rate to move one pallet? The worker will be off the c
klasskru [66]

Number of pallets moved in 4.5 hours = 108

converting 4.5 hours in minutes we get,

4*60 + 0.5*60 = 240+30 = 270 minutes

So, 108 pallets were moved in = 270 minutes

1 pallet was moved in = \frac{270}{108}=2.5 minutes

As the tie will get over in 2 hours or 2*60 = 120 minutes, the number of pallets that can be moved will be = \frac{120}{2.5}= 48 pallets.

Hence, 48 pallets can be moved before quitting time.
