Question 696825
the number of hours that were left in the day was one-third of the number of hours already passed.
 how many hours were left in the day ?
:
let x = no. hr left in the day
:
x = {{{1/3}}}(24-x)
Get rid of the fraction, mult by 3, resulting in
3x = 24 - x
3x + x = 24
4x = 24
x = 24/4
x = 6 hrs
