If the result is 150.

To find the number.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

A number is multiplied by 5 and then divided by 10.

If the result is 150.

That implies,

Let x be the number.

Then,

$\begin{gathered} (5* x)/10=150 \\ (5x)/(10)=150 \\ 5x=10*150 \\ x=(1500)/(5) \\ x=300 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the number is 300.
