Explanation

Let the number be x

Then,

⇔34x−13x=60

⇔5x12=60

⇔x=(60×125

)⇔x= 144

Explanation

To compare the fractions, convert them to equivalent decimals:

2/3 ≈ 0.67

5/8 ≈ 0.63

13/20 ≈ 0.65

Now, arrange the decimals in ascending order:

0.63, 0.65, 0.67

The corresponding fractions in ascending order are:

5/8, 13/20, 2/3

Explanation

1/16 of 1028 = 1028 ÷ 16 = 64.25

1/4 of 236 = 236 ÷ 4 = 59

1/3 of 741 = 741 ÷ 3 = 247

So, 1/3 of 741 (247) is the greatest number.

Explanation

Let's calculate each option:

1/9 of 504 = 504 / 9 = 56

1/4 of 236 = 236 / 4 = 59

1/3 of 741 = 741 / 3 = 247

1/16 of 1028 = 1028 / 16 = 64.25

Comparing the results:

56, 59, 247, 64.25

The greatest number is 247, which corresponds to 1/3 of 741.
