Question

which equation represents the statement"one-fourth more than a number is equal to two-thirds? x-1/4=2/3. x+2/3=1/4. x+1/4=2/3. 1/4+2/3=x.

Answer 1

To begin, we will break down the statement into manageable portions.

Step 1: Consider the first portion, "One-fourth more than a number".

This can be expressed mathematically as

$x+\frac{1}{4}$

Step 2: The last portion equates the first potion to "two-thirds", basically

$=\frac{2}{3}$

Thus, combining all the portions, the equation is

$x+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{2}{3}$
