Equation
6x = 3/8 Divide by 6
x = 3/8 // 6
Solution
[tex]\text{x=}\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{8}}{6} \Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{3}{8}}{\dfrac{6}{1}}[/tex] The 1 has been added to the 6 so you can more easily do the next step.
The next step is to take the 6/1 and turn it upside down. When you do that, and multiply there should be some cancellation taking place.
[tex]\text{x=}\dfrac{3}{8}*\dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{3}{48}=\dfrac{1}{16}[/tex]
