Given the number:

60

Determine what number must be multiplied to 60 in order to result to 120.

Solution:

We can represent the given condition by,

60x = 120

In order to find the missing number, we simply solve for x. To do so, we simply need to divide both sides by 60, in order to cancel out 60x, leaving behind x.

60x/60 = 120/60

x = 2

Final answer:

x = 2
