matrix%281%2C2%2C819%2Cmiles%29%2Fmatrix%281%2C2%2C13%2Chours%29%22%22=%22%22matrix%281%2C2%2C567%2Cmiles%29%2Fmatrix%281%2C2%2C%22X%22%2Chours%29

Cross multiply:

819X%22%22=%22%2213%2A567

Multiply the numbers on the right:

819X%22%22=%22%227371

Divide both sides by 819

819X%2F819%22%22=%22%227371%2F819

Cancel the 819's on the left.
Divide the numbers on the right.

X%22%22=%22%229
