Hello!
First, let's write the problem.
[tex]\frac{1}{15.999}=\frac{x}{54.5}[/tex]
Let's switch sides now, otherwise, we are going to end up doing it later.
[tex]\frac{x}{54.5}=\frac{1}{15.999}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 54.5.
[tex]\frac{x}{54.5} *54.5 =\frac{1}{15.999}*54.5[/tex]
We could also rewrite that as,
[tex]\frac{54.5x}{54.5}=\frac{1\cdot \:54.5}{15.999}[/tex]
Simplify.
[tex]\frac{54.5x}{54.5}=x[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1\cdot \:54.5}{15.999}=\frac{54.5}{15.999}[/tex]
[tex]x=3.40646\dots [/tex]
That would be our final answer, we could round it to.
x ≈ 3.40
You can feel free to let me know if you have any questions regarding this!
Thanks!

Hi Ballentinesavannah I'm going to show u my work of how I got the answer.
0.062504 = x/54.5
0.062504 * 54.5 = x
3.406463 = x
switch it
Answer: x = 3.406463
In order to get the answer I will explain it to u step by step : simplify 1/15.999 to 0.062504, multiply both sides by 54.5, then multiply 0.062504 * 54.5 so it can equal 3.406463.
