Explanation

Step 1: Translate the statement into an equation

“One-fourth of one-third of two-fifths of a number is 15”

1​/4×1/3​×2​/5×x=15

Step 2: Multiply fractions

1×1×2/4×3×5​=2/60​= 1/30​

So,

1/30​x=15

Step 3: Solve for x

$$x=15\times 30=450$$

So, the number is

$$x = 450$$

Step 4: Find 40% of the number

40% of 450= 40/100​×450
$$=0.4\times 450=180$$
