<PRE><B>Question 893299</B>
If one eighth of a number is added to one fift of the same number the result is 65.
 find the number
:
{{{1/8}}}n + {{{1/5}}}n = 65
multiply by 40
40*{{{1/8}}}n + 40*{{{1/5}}}n = 40(65)
cancel the denominators
5n + 8n = 2600
13 n = 2600
n = 2600/13
n = 200 is the number\
