Solve 1/2=3/6quadtext{d}1/4

$$\frac { 1 } { 2 } = \frac { 3 } { 6 } \quad \text { d } \frac { 1 } { 4 }$$

Solve for d

$$d=4$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}d\times \frac{1}{4}$$

Multiply \frac{1}{2} times \frac{1}{4} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1\times 1}{2\times 4}d$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{1\times 1}{2\times 4}.

$$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{8}d$$

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

$$\frac{1}{8}d=\frac{1}{2}$$

Multiply both sides by 8, the reciprocal of \frac{1}{8}.

$$d=\frac{1}{2}\times 8$$

Multiply \frac{1}{2} and 8 to get \frac{8}{2}.

$$d=\frac{8}{2}$$

Divide 8 by 2 to get 4.

$$d=4$$
