Question 66127
1/3 divided by2/5 =6/x can you help me solve it?

Sure.

(1/3)/(2/5)=6/x

First Let's work on the left side.  We'll multiply the left side by 5/5.  That should simplify the fraction on the left.

5(1/3)/5(2/5)=(5/2)(1/3)=5/6  Now we have:

5/6=6/x  Now we will multiply both sides by 6x:

6x(5/6)=6x(6/x) and we have:

5x=36
x=7.2
