three times less than a number is 5/6. what is one more than twice the number?

Answer 1

If 3 times less than a number is equal to 5/6, that means multiplying the number by 1/3 equals 5/6. The original number therefore must be 5/2. Twice that number would be 10/2, which reduces to 5, one more than twice the number would be 6 then.
