Question

One half of one third of one quarter of one fifth of a number is 2 . What is the number?

Answer 1

`240`

Explanation:

Let that number be
`x`.

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

`1/120 * x =2`

`x=2 * 120/1`

`x=240`

Answer 2

`240`

Explanation:

`x * (1)/(2) * (1)/(3) * (1)/(4) * (1)/(5) = 2 \\ x * (1)/(120) = 2 \\ x = (120 * 2)/(1) \\ x = 240`

hope this helps you
