  1. The answer is 5 6 30. I got my answer by using guess and check but more specifically the second and third clue. I looked for numbers that multiples into 180 and tested it to see if the second number is 5 times the third number:
    1 180
    2 90
    3 60
    4 45
    5 36
    6 30<-- i found out that this works because 6*5=30
    Next, I found out that the first number is 5 because I used clue i and 5*6=30.
    Therefore, the 3 numbers in order is, 5, 6, 30.

    1. Your answer is incorrect because the second number is not 5 times of the third number

  2. I first guessed and checked:

    180,1
    90,2
    45,4
    30,6 --> This is the correct one (product is 180 and the 2nd number is 5 times the third number)

    In order for the first and second number's product to be the third number, the first number must be 1/5 of 1 which is 0.2

    This means the number sequence is:
    0.2, 30, 6

    1. 36 is the product of the three numbers

  3. If the second and 1st number make the third, yet the second is higher than the third the first number is a decimal. The only numbers that are five times away from each other and multiply into 180 are 30 and 6.
    Now i just need to figure out 30x=6, --> x=6/30 ---> x=0.2. Therefore, the numbers in order are:

    0.2, 30, 6
