Solve 100/M=0.50/3

$$\frac { 100 } { M } = \frac { 0.50 } { 3 }$$

Solve for M

$$M=600$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable M cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3M, the least common multiple of M,3.

$$3\times 100=M\times 0.5$$

Multiply 3 and 100 to get 300.

$$300=M\times 0.5$$

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

$$M\times 0.5=300$$

Divide both sides by 0.5.

$$M=\frac{300}{0.5}$$

Expand \frac{300}{0.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$M=\frac{3000}{5}$$

Divide 3000 by 5 to get 600.

$$M=600$$
