$$18:36=24x$$

$x=\frac{1}{48}\approx 0.020833333$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{18}{36}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $18$.

$$\frac{1}{2}=24x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$24x=\frac{1}{2}$$

Divide both sides by $24$.

$$x=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{24}$$

Express $\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{24}$ as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{1}{2\times 24}$$

Multiply $2$ and $24$ to get $48$.

$$x=\frac{1}{48}$$
