If there is a sertain number and someone takes 1/3 of the number then takes 1/4 of the number then someone takes 1/2 of the number. If the ending number is 6 than what was the starting number

 

\(\begin{array}{rcll} n\cdot \frac13 \cdot \frac14 \cdot \frac12 &=& 6 \\ n &=& 6 \cdot 3 \cdot 4 \cdot 2 \\ n&=& 144 \end{array}\)
