The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will first determine the unknown number based on the information given and then find the required fraction of that number. ### Step 1: Define the variable Let the unknown number be \( x \). ### Step 2: Calculate two-thirds of the number Two-thirds of the number can be expressed as: \[ \frac{2}{3} \times x = \frac{2x}{3} \] ### Step 3: Calculate three-fourths of two-thirds of the number Now, we need to find three-fourths of two-thirds of the number: \[ \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2x}{3} = \frac{3 \times 2x}{4 \times 3} = \frac{2x}{4} = \frac{x}{2} \] ### Step 4: Set up the equation According to the problem, this value equals 782: \[ \frac{x}{2} = 782 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( x \) To find \( x \), multiply both sides of the equation by 2: \[ x = 782 \times 2 = 1564 \] ### Step 6: Calculate one-fourth of the number Now, we need to find one-fourth of the number: \[ \frac{1}{4} \times x = \frac{1}{4} \times 1564 = \frac{1564}{4} = 391 \] ### Step 7: Calculate three-fifths of one-fourth of the number Finally, we need to find three-fifths of one-fourth of the number: \[ \frac{3}{5} \times 391 = \frac{3 \times 391}{5} = \frac{1173}{5} = 234.6 \] ### Final Answer Thus, three-fifth of one-fourth of the same number is: \[ \boxed{234.6} \] ---
