Solve x : 2/3 = 5/12

Evaluate

x \div \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{12}

Divide the terms

More Steps

\frac{3 x}{2} = \frac{5}{12}

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2

\frac{3 x}{2} \times 2 = \frac{5}{12} \times 2

Multiply the terms

3 x = \frac{5 \times 2}{12}

Divide the terms

3 x = \frac{5}{6}

Multiply by the reciprocal

3 x \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{3}
