Question

IF 2/5 of a number is 60, then what is 1.5 times of that number?

Answer 1

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number x.

2/5 of a number (2x/5) is 60 (2x/5 = 60)

Now that we have the equation, let's solve.

Step 1) Multiply both sides by 5.

(2x/5)*5 = 2x

60*5 = 300

Step 2) Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2 = x

300/2 = 150

And 150 is your number.
