If 1/3 of a number is 8, what is 1 1/4 of the number?

The answer is 30 since,
the number is 24 and 1/3 of it is 8
1 1/4 of 24 is equal to 24 plus the 1/4 of 24
since 1/4 of 24 is 6
24+6=30
Let the number be N:

[tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex]N = 8

[tex] (\frac{3}{1}) [ \frac{1}{3} N = 8]( \frac{3}{1} )[/tex]

N = 24

Change 1[tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex] to improper fraction, then multiply by 24:

1[tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{5}{4} [/tex]

5/4  ×  24  = 5 × 6 = 30

ANSWER:  30
