There is a merry-go-round race going on.One person says,"1/3 of those in front of me and 3/4 of those behind me, give the total number of children in the race". Then the number of children took part in the race?

• (x-1)/3+3*(x-1)/4=x;
  x=13

• take lcm of (3,4)=12
  so 1/3 of 12=4 remaining=8
  so total including that person =8+4+1=13
• 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(14) No(3)
• say the number of children is x,
  so 1/3x+3/4x+1=x
  by solving we get x=12

• assume children=12, then 1/3*12+3/4*12=4+9=13
• 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(8)
• (x-1)/3+(x-1)*5/6=x;
  x=7;
