If you're just trying to solve for m then:
%281%2F2%29%2Fm=30
when dividing a fraction, you multiply by the inverse of the number under the major division line so consider m to be a whole number which is the same as m%2F1
%281%2F2%29%2F%28m%2F1%29
so you multiply by the inverse... which means it is the same as 1%2F2+* 1%2Fm+=30
so multiply straight across to get 1%2F%282m%29=30
multiply both sides by 2m
2m+%2A1%2F%282m%29=30%2A2m
1=60m
m=1%2F60
