Answer 2

Answer:

x=60

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for x, we must isolate x on one side of the equation.

The equation given is:

$\frac{1}{6}x=10$

1/6 and x are being multiplied. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 1/6

$\frac{1}{6}x/\frac{1}{6}=10/\frac{1}{6}$

When dividing by a fraction, you can multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction instead.

To find the reciprocal, flip the numerator and denominator.

1/6 ⇒ flip top number and bottom number ⇒ 6/1=6

Replace the division by 1/6 with multiplication by 6.

$\frac{1}{6}x * 6=10*6$

$x= 10 *6$

$x=60$

The solution to this equation is x=60
