Solve 1.2div0.4=1.5divx

$$1.2 \div 0.4=1.5 \div x$$

Solve for x

$$x=0.5$$

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.

$$x\times \frac{1.2}{0.4}=1.5$$

Expand \frac{1.2}{0.4} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x\times \frac{12}{4}=1.5$$

Divide 12 by 4 to get 3.

$$x\times 3=1.5$$

Divide both sides by 3.

$$x=\frac{1.5}{3}$$

Expand \frac{1.5}{3} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{15}{30}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{15}{30} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 15.

$$x=\frac{1}{2}$$
