To solve this problem, we can use an algebraic equation. Let's assume the number to be "x".
According to the problem, 2/5 (⅖) of a number is equal to 23.2:
(2/5)x = 23.2
To isolate x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 2/5 (which is 5/2):
(5/2) * (2/5)x = (5/2) * 23.2
Simplifying the equation:
1x = 58
Therefore, the number is 58.
