| ( | 8 | ÷ | 5 | ) | ÷ | ( | x | − | 9 20 | ) | = | 16 | ÷ | 3 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | − | 9 20 | ) |
| ( | 8 | ÷ | 5 | ) | = | 16 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | x | − | 9 20 | ) |
| 8 | ÷ | 5 | = | 16 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | x | − | 9 20 | ) |
| 8 | ÷ | 5 | = | 16 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | − | 16 | ÷ | 3 | × | 9 20 |
8 5 | = | 16 3 | x | − | 12 5 |
| - | 16 3 | x | = | - | 12 5 | − | 8 5 |
| - | 16 3 | x | = | - | 4 |
| 4 | = | 16 3 | x |
16 3 | x | = | 4 |
| x | = | 4 | ÷ | 16 3 |
| = | 4 | × | 3 16 |
| = | 1 | × | 3 4 |
| x | = | 3 4 |
| x | = | 0.75 |
