6 7/8 divided by 21 3/5 = 4 3/4 divided x
Using improper fractions
%2855%2F8%29%2F%28108%2F5%29 = %2819%2F4%29%2Fx
cross mutiply
%2855%2F8%29x = %28108%2F5%29%2A%2819%2F4%29
%2855%2F8%29x = %282052%2F20%29
multiply both sides by 40, results:
5(55x) = 2(2052)
275x = 4104
x = 4104%2F275
which is
x = 14254%2F275
