I thought of a number, multiplied it by 2 ½ , divided the result by 1 1/5 , subtracted 7/18 from it, and got 1 ⅚ . What was my number?

1.06 or 1 1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

So, basically what we need to do is reverse the steps.

So now it goes like this:

We start with 1 5/6(1.83)

Then we add 7/18(0.389)

Then we multiply by 1 1/5(1.2)

Then finally, we divide by 2 1/2(2.5)

This will get us our answer. So:

1.83+0.389 = 2.219

2.219*1.2 = 2.6628

2.6628/2.5 = 1.06

This is 1.06 in decimal form, or 1 1/15 in fraction form

Hope this helps!

This can also be double checked, if you plug it into the orginal equation:

1.06, then you multiply by 2.5: 1.06*2.5= 2.6628

2.6628, then you divide by 1.2: 2.6628/1.2= 2.219

Then finally, 2.219 and subtract 7/18: 2.219-0.389= 1.83

So we have double checked, and our answer is still 1.06.
