if you divide 5 over 3 you get the decimal 1.6, not 15. the correct answer would be 45. how do i get that? read below. ________________________________ to solve: [tex] \frac{x}{3} = 15[/tex] 1.multiply each side by 3, to get the 3 on the left side to cancel out. so you get x = 15 times 3. 2. 15 * 3 = 45
