Answer:

65

Explanation:

To find the missing number, we must work backwards from 585

The inverse of multiplication is division

This means that we can use division to reverse multiplication

585 ÷ 3 = 195

195 ÷ 3 = 65

Let us check our answer

65 x 3 = 195

195 x 3 = 585 √

Checking our answer got us back to 585 meaning 65 is the correct answer
