(6/5)/(6/10)=(x)/(12/10)
6/10x=6/5*12/10
6/10x=72/50
x=(72/50)/(6/10)
x=72/50*10/6
x=720/500
x=1 11/25

6/5 over 6/10 is equal to x over 1 and 2/10?
Please and thank you!!!

6%2F5 ÷ 6%2F10 = x ÷ 1%262%2F10

6%2F5 ÷ 3%2F5 = x ÷ 12%2F10

6%2F5 ÷ 3%2F5 = x ÷ 6%2F5

%286%2F5%29+%2A+%285%2F3%29+=+x+%2A+%285%2F6%29

%282cross%286%29%2Fcross%285%29%29+%2A+%28cross%285%29%2Fcross%283%29%29+=+5x%2F6

2+=+5x%2F6

5x = 12 ------- Cross-multiplying

x = 12%2F5, or highlight_green%282.4%29
