Mrs WOM just emailed it to me. We're stumped. I solved it with a decimal number, and she says I can't do that. (No explanation why.)
"A sequence contains three positive numbers. The following is true about the numbers in the sequence: (i) the product of the first and second numbers equals the third number; (ii) the product of the second and third numbers is 180; and (iii) the second number is five times the third number. Determine the product of the three numbers in the sequence."
