Answer 2

Given :

A number 240

To find :

two-thirds of one-half of one-fourth of 240

Solution :

•two-thirds of one-half of one-fourth of 240 can be represented as

(2/3)×(1/2)×(1/4)×(240)

•This can be solved stepwise as :

•one fourth of 240 = 1/4 × 240

one fourth of 240 = 60

•Now , half of the one fourth of 240 = 1/2(1/4 × 240) = 1/2 × 60

•half of the one fourth of 240 = 30

•Now , two thirds of half of the one fourth of 240 = 2/3(1/2[1/4 × 240] )

•two thirds of half of the one fourth of 240 = 2/3 × 30 = 20

•Hence , two-thirds of one-half of one-fourth of 240 is 20
