$n = 1.02$ $n=1.02$

Explanation:

This does work!

Turn everything upside down giving:

$\frac{n}{6} = \frac{0.51}{3}$ $n/6=0.51/3$

Don't like decimals so lets get rid of them

$\frac{n}{6} = \frac{0.51}{3} \times 1 \to \frac{n}{6} = \frac{0.51}{3} \times \frac{100}{100}$ $color(green)(n/6=0.51/3color(red)(xx1)" "->" "n/6=0.51/3color(red)(xx100/100))$

$\frac{n}{6} = \frac{51}{300}$ $color(green)(" "n/6=51/300)$

Multiply both sides by $6$ $color(red)(6)$

$\frac{n}{6} \times 6 = \frac{51}{300} \times 6$ $" "color(green)(n/6color(red)(xx6) =51/300color(red)(xx6))$

$" "color(green)(nxx cancel(6/6)=51/(cancel(3)^1xx100)xxcancel(6)^2)$

$" "color(green)(n=102/100=1.02$
