1/3*1/4*x=15
x=15*3/1*4/1
x=180
Therefore required is
=3/10*180
=54
x=15*3/1*4/1
x=180
Therefore required is
=3/10*180
=54

The question said 1/3 of 1/4 of x is 15.
To get x we need to increase 15 by 4 times, we get 60, and then we need to increase 60 by 3 times to get x.
To get x we need to increase 15 by 4 times, we get 60, and then we need to increase 60 by 3 times to get x.
