Answer:

x = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given proportion is


(13)/(5)=(14)/(11x)

To solve the expression, we need to cross multiply, so


\begin{gathered} 13(11x)=5(14) \\ 143x=70 \end{gathered}

Then, divide both sides by 143, so


\begin{gathered} (143x)/(143)=(70)/(143) \\ x=0.5 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is x = 0.5
