Solution:

Note that:

  • Given equation: x ÷ 3/7 = 7/15

Simplify the given equation to solve for x.

  • x ÷ 3/7 = 7/15
  • => x × 7/3 = 7/15
  • => 7x/3 = 7/15
  • => 7x = 7/5
  • => 35x = 7
  • => x = 1/5

Check:

  • 1/5 ÷ 3/7 = 7/15
  • => 1/5 x 7/3 = 7/15
  • => 7/15 = 7/15 (True)

Hoped this helped!
