A number is 5/8 greater than another number. Twice the sum of the numbers is equal to 22 1/4. What is the number?

Let's say the first number is x.
The second number is then 5/8 greater than x, which is x + (5/8)x = (13/8)x.
The sum of the two numbers is x + (13/8)x = (21/8)x.
Twice this sum is equal to 22 1/4, or (45/2), so we have 2 * (21/8)x = (45/2).
Multiplying both sides by 8/21, we get (8/21) * 2 * (21/8)x = (45/2) * (8/21).
This simplifies to 2x = 4 * 45/2.
Simplifying further, we have 2x = 90.
Dividing both sides by 2, we get x = 90/2 = <<90/2=45>>45.
So the number is 45.

I'm sorry if my previous response was incorrect. Let's go through the problem again.

Let's say the first number is x.
The second number is then (5/8)x greater than x, which is x + (5/8)x = (13/8)x.

The sum of the two numbers is x + (13/8)x = (21/8)x.

Twice this sum is equal to 22 1/4, or (89/4):

2 * (21/8)x = 89/4.

Multiply both sides by (8/21):

2 * (21/8) * (8/21)x = (89/4) * (8/21).

This simplifies to 2x = (89/4 * 8/21) = 4.19047619047619.

Dividing both sides by 2, we get x = 4.19047619047619 / 2 = 2.0952380952380953.

So the number is approximately 2.095.

I apologize for misunderstanding the question. Let's try again.

Let's call the first number x.
The second number, which is 5/8 greater than the first number, can be represented as x + (5/8)x.

The sum of the numbers is x + (x + (5/8)x) = x + x + (5/8)x = 2x + (5/8)x = (16/8)x + (5/8)x = (21/8)x.

Twice the sum of the numbers is 2 * (21/8)x = (42/8)x = (21/4)x.

We know that this expression is equal to 22 1/4, or (89/4):

(21/4)x = (89/4).

Multiply both sides by 4/21:

(4/21) * (21/4)x = (4/21) * (89/4).

This simplifies to x = 89/21.

Therefore, the first number is 89/21.

0.65 of x=49.4
Answered by GPT 3.5
To find the value of x, we need to solve the equation 0.65 * x = 49.4.

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.65, we have:

x = 49.4 / 0.65 = 76.

Therefore, the value of x is 76.
