Answer:

5.2

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{17}{13} = \frac{x}{4}[/tex]

To solve for x, we want to isolate x. To do this, we need to multiply both sides by 4.

[tex](\frac{4}{1})(\frac{17}{13}) = x[/tex]

Multiply the numerators and the denominators separately.

4 • 17 = 68

1 • 13 = 13

[tex]\frac{68}{13} = x[/tex]

Divide.

68 ÷ 13 = 5.23

Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

5.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the equal sign. This means that these two fractions are proportional. First, find common denominators. Note that what you do to the denominator, you do to the numerator:

[tex]4 * 13 * (\frac{17}{13}) = (\frac{x}{4}) * 4 * 13\\\\4 * 17 = x * 13\\\\68 = x * 13[/tex]

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Divide 13 from both sides:

[tex]68 = x * 13\\\\(68)/13 = (x * 13)/13\\x = 68/13\\x = 5.2[/tex](rounded to the nearest tenth).

5.2 is your answer.
