$b = 10.8$ $b=10.8$

Explanation:

This is the same as $b \times \frac{1}{0.6} = 18$ $b xx 1/0.6=18$

Multiply both sides by $0.6$ $color(red)(0.6)$

$b \times \frac{1}{0.6} \times 0.6 = 18 \times 0.6$ $color(green)(bxx1/0.6color(red)(xx0.6)" "=" "18color(red)(xx0.6)$

$b \times \frac{0.6}{0.6} = 18 \times 0.6$ $bxx0.6/0.6" "=" "18xx0.6$

But $\frac{0.6}{0.6}$ $0.6/0.6$ is the same as the value 1 giving:

$b \times 1 = 18 \times 0.6$ $bxx1" "=" "18xx0.6$

$b = 18 \times 0.6$ $b=18xx0.6$
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose the decimal is giving you a problem. This is one of several approaches.

$0.6$ $0.6$ is the same as $6 \times \frac{1}{10}$ $6xx1/10$ so we write:

$b = 18 \times 6 \times \frac{1}{10}$ $b=18xx6xx1/10$

$b = 108 \times \frac{1}{10}$ $b=108xx1/10$

$b = 10.8$ $b=10.8$
