I thought of a number, divided it by 1 1 2 , then added 2 1 2 to the result, then multiplied the sum by 1 2 3 . Then I subtracted 1 2 3 and got the result 2 5 6 . What was my number?

Answer:

[tex]\frac {3}{10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Working backwards, the addition changes subtraction and division changes to multiplication and vice versa

The numbers are[tex]1\frac{1}{2}, 2\frac{1}{2}, 1\frac{2}{3}[/tex] and [tex]2\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

The result is  [tex]2\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Adding  [tex]1\frac{2}{3}[/tex] to  [tex]2\frac{5}{6}[/tex] we obtain

[tex]1\frac{2}{3}[/tex]+ [tex]2\frac{5}{6}[/tex]=[tex]4\frac {1}{2}[/tex]

Dividing [tex]4\frac {1}{2}[/tex] by [tex]1\frac {2}{3}[/tex] we obtain [tex]2\frac {7}{10}[/tex]

Subtracting [tex]2\frac {2}{3}[/tex] from [tex]2\frac {7}{10}[/tex] we obtain [tex]\frac {1}{5}[/tex]

Multiplying [tex]\frac {1}{5}[/tex] by [tex]1\frac {1}{2}[/tex] we obtain [tex]\frac {3}{10}[/tex]

Therefore, the number is [tex]\frac {3}{10}[/tex]
