\frac{0.003}{0.002}=0.002+z\times 0.002
Divide both sides by 0.002.
\frac{3}{2}=0.002+z\times 0.002
Expand \frac{0.003}{0.002} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 1000.
0.002+z\times 0.002=\frac{3}{2}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
z\times 0.002=\frac{3}{2}-0.002
Subtract 0.002 from both sides.
z\times 0.002=\frac{3}{2}-\frac{1}{500}
Convert decimal number 0.002 to fraction \frac{2}{1000}. Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{1000} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
z\times 0.002=\frac{750}{500}-\frac{1}{500}
Least common multiple of 2 and 500 is 500. Convert \frac{3}{2} and \frac{1}{500} to fractions with denominator 500.
z\times 0.002=\frac{750-1}{500}
Since \frac{750}{500} and \frac{1}{500} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
z\times 0.002=\frac{749}{500}
Subtract 1 from 750 to get 749.
z=\frac{\frac{749}{500}}{0.002}
Divide both sides by 0.002.
z=\frac{749}{500\times 0.002}
Express \frac{\frac{749}{500}}{0.002} as a single fraction.
z=\frac{749}{1}
Multiply 500 and 0.002 to get 1.
z=749
Divide 749 by 1 to get 749.
