    What number is bigger than five and one - sixth by the same amount that one and one eighth is less than one and one fourth?

    Let the number be n.

    Then n - 5 1/6 = 1 1/4 - 1 1/8

    n - 5 1/6 = 10/8 - 9/8 = 1/8

    Then n - 5 1/6 = 1/8. Multiply all three terms by 24 to eliminate fractions:

    24n - 124 = 3. Adding 124 to both sides, 24n = 3+124. Then 24n = 127,

    and n = 127/24.
