Given the equation:


(2)/(3)d=(1)/(6)

Let's solve the equation for d.

To solve for d the first step is to multiply both sides of the equation by 3:


\begin{gathered} 3*(2)/(3)d=(1)/(6)*3 \\ \\ 2d=(3)/(6) \\ \\ 2d=(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

Now, the next step is to divide both sides by 2:


\begin{gathered} (2d)/(2)=((1)/(2))/(2) \\ \\ d=(1)/(2*2) \\ \\ d=(1)/(4) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is:

d = 1/4

• ANSWER:


d=(1)/(4)
