0.261%22%F7%221%2Fx

Write the 0.261 as 0.261%2F1

0.261%2F1%22%F7%221%2Fx

Invert the second fraction and change the %22%F7%22 to %22%2A%22:

0.261%2F1%22%2A%22x%2F1

Multiply the numerators and the denominators and get

0.261x%2F1

Now you can drop the 1 in the denominator and

the final answer is 0.261x
