To solve the equation
\[
\frac{3x}{8} = 6,
\]
we can start by isolating \(x\).
1. Multiply both sides by 8 to eliminate the fraction:
\[
3x = 6 \times 8.
\]
Calculating the right-hand side:
\[
3x = 48.
\]
2. Now, divide both sides by 3 to solve for \(x\):
\[
x = \frac{48}{3}.
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
x = 16.
\]
Thus, the solution is
\[
\boxed{16}.
