One half of a number is 3 more than one-sixth the same number. What is the number?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 1/2 of a number(1/2 times x) is (=) 3 more than (3+) 1/6 the same number (1/6 times x)

1/2x=3+1/6x
x/2=3+x/6
subtract x/6 from both sdies
x/2-x/6=3
x/2-x/6
x/2 times 3/3=3x/6
3x/6-x/6=2x/6=x/3
x/3=3
multiply both sides by 3
x=9

9 is the number

Answer 2

Answer: $(x)/(2) = (x)/(6) + 3$

$3x= x+18$

$2x=18$

$x=9$

A peregrine falcon can fly 322 km/h h. How many meters can the falcon fly.

Answers

That depends on how many fish or mice he ate yesterday, how well
he slept last night, and where he really wants to be.

From the information given in the question, the only things we can
really say for sure is that if he maintains his top speed, he will fly
322,000 meters for every hour that he keeps it up, and that he will
be one scrawny, exhausted bird when it's all over.
