Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression:


\frac{1}{x_{}}=(6)/(18)

Where x is the missing value, so we need to make a cross multiplication, so we get:


\begin{gathered} 1*18=6* x \\ 18=6x \end{gathered}

Then, we divide both sides by 6, so:


\begin{gathered} (18)/(6)=(6x)/(6) \\ 3=x \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is 3, so:


(1)/(3)=(6)/(18)
