7 1/3 - 3 2/3 = 3/23
7 1/3 = 22/3
3 2/3 = 11/3
22/3 - 11/3 = 11/3 = 3 2/3
take 6 plus 11 = 17 so 17 and above
Answer:
The number is 48
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's call the number we are looking for n.
We can then write "two-thirds of the number" as 2/3n
We can also write "one-half of a number" as 1/2n
Finally, we are told 1/2n is the same as 2/3n −8 or: 1/2n = 23n −8
We can now solve for n: 1/2n − 2/3n = 2/3n −8 − 2/3n 1/2n − 2/3n = −8We next need to get the fractions over common denominators, in this case, 6 by multiplying each fraction by the necessary for of 1: (3/3) 1/2n − (2/2) 2/3n = −8 3/6n − 4/6n = −8 − 1/6n = −8.
We can finally solve for n by multiplying by -6 to isolate n −6 ⋅(−1/6)n = −8⋅ − 6
1n = 48
n =48
