Solve 15/4/5=x/3

$$\frac { \frac { 15 } { 4 } } { 5 } = \frac { x } { 3 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{9}{4} = 2\frac{1}{4} = 2.25$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 15, the least common multiple of 5,3.

$$3\times \frac{15}{4}=5x$$

Express 3\times \frac{15}{4} as a single fraction.

$$\frac{3\times 15}{4}=5x$$

Multiply 3 and 15 to get 45.

$$\frac{45}{4}=5x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$5x=\frac{45}{4}$$

Divide both sides by 5.

$$x=\frac{\frac{45}{4}}{5}$$

Express \frac{\frac{45}{4}}{5} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{45}{4\times 5}$$

Multiply 4 and 5 to get 20.

$$x=\frac{45}{20}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{45}{20} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$x=\frac{9}{4}$$
