(1/3) of a number is 3 more than the (1/6) of the same number?a)6b)16c...
Let the number be A,
According to question
(1/3)*A=[(1/6)*A]+3
A/3=(A/6)+3
A/3=(A+18)/6 {by taking LCM}
A=3(A+18)/6
A=(A+18)/2
2A=A+18
2A-A=18
A=18
Hence,the value of the number according to question is 18 which is option C) in question

(1/3) of a number is 3 more than the (1/6) of the same number?a)6b)16c...
Given: (1/3)x = (1/6)x + 3
To find: Value of x
Solution:
Step 1: Simplify the equation by multiplying both sides by 6 to get rid of the fractions.
2x = x + 18
Step 2: Subtract x from both sides to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
x = 18
Therefore, the value of the number is 18.
Answer: Option C
