| ( | 5 | ÷ | 6 | ) | x | = | ( | 7 | ÷ | 12 | ) | ÷ | ( | 3 | ÷ | 1 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 3 | ÷ | 1 | ) |
| ( | 5 | ÷ | 6 | ) | x | ( | 3 | ÷ | 1 | ) | = | ( | 7 | ÷ | 12 | ) |
| 5 | ÷ | 6 | × | x | ( | 3 | ÷ | 1 | ) | = | ( | 7 | ÷ | 12 | ) |
| 5 | ÷ | 6 | × | x | ( | 3 | ÷ | 1 | ) | = | 7 | ÷ | 12 |
5 6 | x | ( | 3 | ÷ | 1 | ) | = | 7 12 |
5 6 | x | × | 3 | ÷ | 1 | = | 7 12 |
5 2 | x | = | 7 12 |
| x | = | 7 12 | ÷ | 5 2 |
| = | 7 12 | × | 2 5 |
| = | 7 6 | × | 1 5 |
| x | = | 7 30 |
| x | = | 0.233333 |
