To solve the proportion 1/x : 1/3 = 1/2 : 1/5, we can cross-multiply.
Cross-multiplying gives us (1/x)(1/5) = (1/3)(1/2).
Simplifying both sides, we have 1/(5x) = 1/6.
To solve for x, we can take the reciprocal of both sides.
Reciprocating both sides gives us 5x = 6.
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 5.
Dividing both sides by 5 gives us x = 6/5.
Therefore, the value of x in the given proportion is x = 6/5.
