x\times \frac{1}{2\times 200}=180\times 0.44\times 10^{-3}
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 180x, the least common multiple of 180,x.
x\times \frac{1}{400}=180\times 0.44\times 10^{-3}
Multiply 2 and 200 to get 400.
x\times \frac{1}{400}=79.2\times 10^{-3}
Multiply 180 and 0.44 to get 79.2.
x\times \frac{1}{400}=79.2\times \frac{1}{1000}
Calculate 10 to the power of -3 and get \frac{1}{1000}.
x\times \frac{1}{400}=\frac{99}{1250}
Multiply 79.2 and \frac{1}{1000} to get \frac{99}{1250}.
x=\frac{99}{1250}\times 400
Multiply both sides by 400, the reciprocal of \frac{1}{400}.
x=\frac{792}{25}
Multiply \frac{99}{1250} and 400 to get \frac{792}{25}.
