If I understood your question correctly, it's laid out like this:
1%2Fx%29<3

There are two ways that we can solve this problem. The first way we could solve this is to multiply both sides by "x." If we multiply 1%2Fx by "x", it will become "1," and the "3" will become "3x." Now we have the problem laid out so it's much easier (1<3x). In order to isolate the x, we need to divide both sides by 3. Therefore, x<1%2F3

Now the other way that we can solve this is to take the inverse of both sides. The inverse of 1%2Fx is x. The inverse of 3 is 1%2F3. Once we take the inverse, we have the problem solved with much less work. x<1%2F3
