Title: How do you solve fractions with a variable in the denominator? Post by: smokebomb13 on Dec 13, 2012 given your equation
3/x=5/12 we start by multiplying both sides of the eqation by x and we get 3 = 5/12 x now to solve for x we multiply both sides of the equation by 12/5 and we get 3(12/5) = x and to simplify we get 36/5 = x |
