Just take (x) multiplication sign in the place of (of) in qs'n .. so then it's easy.

(1/3*1/4) * x = 15.
X/12 = 15,
X = 15/12,
X = 180,
3/10 = 180,
= 3 * 18,
= 54.
X/12 = 15,
X = 15/12,
X = 180,
3/10 = 180,
= 3 * 18,
= 54.

1 / 3 * 1/4 * n = 15.
1/12 *n = 15,
n= 12 *15 = 180,
3/10 * 180 = 54.
1/12 *n = 15,
n= 12 *15 = 180,
3/10 * 180 = 54.

Here, 1/3 * 1/5 * Y = 15 * 3/10.
Y = 54.
Y = 54.

1/3 multiple by x/4 = 15.
X = 180.
3/10. Multiply by 180
gives 54.
X = 180.
3/10. Multiply by 180
gives 54.

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
