Solve 0.5/60=x/100

$$\frac{ 0.5 }{ 60 } = \frac{ x }{ 100 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{5}{6}\approx 0.833333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 300, the least common multiple of 60,100.

$$5\times 0.5=3x$$

Multiply 5 and 0.5 to get 2.5.

$$2.5=3x$$

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

$$3x=2.5$$

Divide both sides by 3.

$$x=\frac{2.5}{3}$$

Expand \frac{2.5}{3} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{25}{30}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{25}{30} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$x=\frac{5}{6}$$
