Solve 1/12=1/frac{3{x}}

$$\frac { 1 } { 12 } = \frac { 1 } { \frac { 3 } { x } }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{4}=0.25$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Divide 1 by \frac{3}{x} by multiplying 1 by the reciprocal of \frac{3}{x}.

$$\frac{1}{12}=\frac{x}{3}$$

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

$$\frac{x}{3}=\frac{1}{12}$$

Multiply both sides by 3.

$$x=\frac{1}{12}\times 3$$

Multiply \frac{1}{12} and 3 to get \frac{1}{4}.

$$x=\frac{1}{4}$$
