$$1+x=1.18\times \frac{4}{3}$$

Convert decimal number 1.18 to fraction \frac{118}{100}. Reduce the fraction \frac{118}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$1+x=\frac{59}{50}\times \frac{4}{3}$$

Multiply \frac{59}{50} times \frac{4}{3} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$1+x=\frac{59\times 4}{50\times 3}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{59\times 4}{50\times 3}.

$$1+x=\frac{236}{150}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{236}{150} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$1+x=\frac{118}{75}$$

Subtract 1 from both sides.

$$x=\frac{118}{75}-1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{75}{75}.

$$x=\frac{118}{75}-\frac{75}{75}$$

Since \frac{118}{75} and \frac{75}{75} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{118-75}{75}$$

Subtract 75 from 118 to get 43.

$$x=\frac{43}{75}$$
