2.4 or 12/5

Explanation:

1.2/0.96=3/x

convert the decimal into a fraction---- 6/5 /0.96= 3/x

Simplify the complex fraction-----5/4 = 3/x

simplify the equation using cross-mulitpication----- 5 x = 12

divide both sides of the equation by 5--- x= 12/5

Check if the solution is in the defined range

Alternitive form:

x=2 2/5, x =2.4
