To solve this problem, we need to set up an equation based on the given information.

Let's assume the number is "x."

According to the question, when a third of this number is added to 8, the result is more than ten.

Mathematically, we can write this as:

1/3x + 8 > 10

To solve this equation, we can start by subtracting 8 from both sides:

1/3x > 10 - 8
1/3x > 2

Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate x:

3 * (1/3x) > 2 * 3
x > 6

Therefore, the number (x) is greater than 6.
