#2#

We can think of this problem by setting up an equation:

You are asking #27# times "what" equals #54#.

If we translate this using mathematical symbols we can say that:
#27# times a number #n# is #54# which is to say:

#27n=54#

This is now a simple mathematical equation to which we can solve for #n# thus:

Divide #27# on both sides to isolate the variable #n#

#cancel(27/27)n=54/27#

#n=2#

So we found the "what" in our sentence such that we can now conclude that #27# times #2# is equal to #54# or rather #27*2=54#
