Question

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

Answer 1

The answer is 240. :)

Answer 2

x = 240

Explanation:

Let the number be x

Condition:

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

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

=>
`(1)/(120) x = 2`

Multiplying both sides by 120

=> x = 2*120

=> x = 240
