What number is that of which the third part exceeds the fifth part by 4

Let the number = xNow, according to question :   x3 - x5 = 45x - 3x15 = 42x = 60x = 602 = 30So, required number = 30

Let the number = x

Third part of the number = x / 3

Fifth part of the number = x / 5

Given relation between these to

terms are ,

x / 3 - x / 5 = 4

Find the LCM of 3 and 5 = 3 ? 5 = 15

( 5x - 3x )/ 15 = 4

2x / 15 = 4

x = (4 / 1 ) ? ( 15/ 2 )

After cancellation

x = 2 ? 15

x = 30

Therefore,

Required number = x = 30

Hope this will helps you.
