Question

What is the value of N? If N is `1/4` larger than `40`, what does N equal? The alternatives are as follows : `a. 32," " b. 50," " c. 48" " and d. 30`

Answer 1

`b. 50`

Explanation:

N being `1/4` larger than `40` means that it is `1/4` times bigger than `40`.

So, first find `1/4`th of `40`

it is `40xx1/4` = `cancel40^10xx1/cancel4^1` =`10`

Now add, this `10` to `40` = `10+40` = `50`
