right or wrong
i have one more question
to solve \[ \frac{x}{60}= \frac{3}{5} \] multiple both sides by 60, like this \[ 60\cdot \frac{x}{60}= 60\cdot \frac{3}{5} \] now simplify both sides (on the left, 60/60 is 1)
60 x 60 is 3600 12 x 60 is 720
the left side is 60/60 * x which is 1*x or just x now do the right side
