Question

I thought of a number, multiplied it by 2 1/2 , divided the result by 1 1/5 , subtracted 7/18 from it, and got 1 5/6 . What was my number?

Answer 1

The answer is 16/18 hope this helped

Answer 2

16/18

Explanation:

x × 2 1/2 - 7/18 = 1 5/6

5/2 x = 11/6 + 7/18

5/2 x = 33/18 + 7/18

5/2 x = 40/18 / 5/2

x = 16/18
