We need to solve the next proportion:
[tex]\frac{13}{17}=\frac{x}{5}[/tex]Solve for x:
Multiply both sides by 5:
[tex]5(\frac{13}{17})=5(\frac{x}{5})[/tex]Simplify 5/5 = 1
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{5\ast13}{17}=x\ast1 \\ \frac{65}{17}=x \\ 3.8=x \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, x=3.8. The answer is rounded to the nearest tenth.
