\frac{3}{4}\times 5=\frac{1}{4}x
Multiply both sides by 5.
\frac{3\times 5}{4}=\frac{1}{4}x
Express \frac{3}{4}\times 5 as a single fraction.
\frac{15}{4}=\frac{1}{4}x
Multiply 3 and 5 to get 15.
\frac{1}{4}x=\frac{15}{4}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=\frac{15}{4}\times 4
Multiply both sides by 4, the reciprocal of \frac{1}{4}.
x=15
Cancel out 4 and 4.
