Answer 1

The number is 240 (a)

Explanation:

Let the number be x

So,

(one half) of (one third) of (one quarter) of (one fifth) of x = 2

1/2 of 1/3 of 1/4 of 1/5 of x = 2

here 'of' means multiplied by...

1/2 * 1/3 * 1/4 * 1/5 * x = 2

multiplying the fractions we get,

1/(2*3*4*5) x = 2

1/120 x = 2

bring 1/120 to the right side of the equation, it becomes 120/1

x= 2*120/1

= 2*120

= 240

Answer 2

240

Explanation:

1/2 of 1/3 of 1/4 of 1/5 of n = 2 in math we can write as

1/2 * 1/3 * 1/4 * 1/5 * n = 2

1/120 * n = 2

n = 2 * 120 = 240
