THE PRODUCT OF THREE NUMBERS IS 945. THE FIRST NUMBER IS 60% OF SECOND NUMBER AND THE THIRD NUMBER IS 7. WHAT IS SECOND NUMBER?
-------------------------------------
3rd = 7
Let 2nd = 10x
Then 1st = 6x
---
Equation:
10x*6x*7 = 945
420x^2 = 945
x^2 = 9/4
x = 3/2
-------
1st = 6(3/2) = 9
2nd = 10(3/2) = 15
3rd = 7
