To solve the equation \( \frac{x}{5.5} = \frac{6}{11} \), we can start by cross-multiplying:
\[ x \cdot 11 = 6 \cdot 5.5 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 11x = 33 \]
Now, divide both sides by 11 to isolate \( x \):
\[ x = \frac{33}{11} \]
Calculating the division gives:
\[ x = 3 \]
So the solution is:
\[ \boxed{3} \]
To solve the equation \( \frac{x}{7.5} = \frac{3}{5} \), we can start by cross-multiplying:
\[ x \cdot 5 = 3 \cdot 7.5 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 5x = 22.5 \]
Now, divide both sides by 5 to isolate \( x \):
\[ x = \frac{22.5}{5} \]
Calculating the division gives:
\[ x = 4.5 \]
Thus, the solution is:
\[ \boxed{4.5} \]
