3/x=36
Multiply both sides by x
3=36x

Okie dokie,
When converting a decimal, you use the place the decimal is in...
Let's review the places: tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc.
You look at the last number to determine what place you're using!
-------------------
Now here's an example for the
tenths place:
.5
it's in the tenths place, right? so put it over that number (with no decimal) over a
10.
(mobile) 5/10 or

Now, decide if you can simplify. You can! 5/10 simplifies down to
1/2.

is your answer!
--------
Example for the
hundredths place:
.26
the last number is in the hundredths place, so put the number (without a decimal) over
100!26/100 or

You can simplify this!
13/50 is your answer!
Calculators can also come in handy!
Good luck!
