Solve 3/x=5/0.06

$$\frac{ 3 }{ x } = \frac{ 5 }{ 0.06 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=0.036$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.

$$3=x\times \frac{5}{0.06}$$

Expand \frac{5}{0.06} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$3=x\times \frac{500}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{500}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$3=x\times \frac{250}{3}$$

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

$$x\times \frac{250}{3}=3$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{3}{250}, the reciprocal of \frac{250}{3}.

$$x=3\times \frac{3}{250}$$

Express 3\times \frac{3}{250} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{3\times 3}{250}$$

Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.

$$x=\frac{9}{250}$$
