Answer:


(1)/(60)

Explanation:

Problem:

The possible values of x in the equation (60)x = 1;

Solution:

Such a problem like this in which the highest power of the unknown is 1 will have just one solution.

60x = 1

To solve this, we take the multiplicative inverse of 60;

the multiplicative inverse of 60 =
(1)/(60)

Use this inverse to multiply both sides of the expression;


(1)/(60)
x 60x = 1 x
(1)/(60)

x =
(1)/(60)
