Answer:

x = 11.1

Step-by-step explanation:

We were given that:


(6)/(x)=(7)/(13)

We will solve this simple proportion as shown below:


\begin{gathered} (6)/(x)=(7)/(13) \\ \text{Cross multiply, we have:} \\ x*7=6*13 \\ 7x=78 \\ \text{Divide both sides by ''7'', we have:} \\ x=(78)/(7) \\ x=11.143\approx11.1 \\ x=11.1 \\ \\ \therefore x=11.1(to\text{ the nearest tenth)} \end{gathered}

Therefore, x equals 11.1
