$\huge\boxed{\sf{Hello\:there!}}$

How to Write the Word Sentence as an Equation?

That's easy!

Let's say the number is x.

x multiplied by
$\displaystyle(2)/(5)$ is
$\displaystyle(3)/(20)$

$\displaystyle(2)/(5) x=(3)/(20)$

Notice that we write the number before the variable.

Now, let's solve.

Step number 1:

Divide both sides by
$\displaystyle(2)/(5)$ .

Wait, how do we divide fractions?

$\bigstar$ We take the fraction that we divide by and flop it over.

$\bigstar$ Then, we multiply the first fraction times the one that we flopped over.

$\displaystyle(2)/(5) x=(3)/(20) \\x=\displaystyle(3)/(20) :(2)/(5)$

$x=\displaystyle(3)/(20)*(5)/(2)$

Now, all we have to do is multiply 3 by 5 and 20 by 2:

$x=\displaystyle(15)/(40)$

Simplify by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 5:

$\displaystyle(3)/(8)$

$\huge\boxed{\sf{Answer:{\boxed{\bf{(3)/(8) }}}}}]$

Hope it helps! Enjoy your day!

Feel free to ask if you have any doubts.

$\star\star$ The crown would be greatly appreciated ;)
