The solution of the given proportion is $x=26$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information : the proportion given as,

  $\frac{x}{4}=\frac{13}{2}$

Calculation : the given proportion can be calculated as,

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{x}{4}=\frac{13}{2}\\ \frac{x}{4}\cdot 4=\frac{13}{2}\cdot 4\left[\text{multiply each side by 4}\right]\\ x=\frac{52}{2}\left[\text{simplify}\right]\\ x=26\left[\text{divide}\right]\end{array}$

Therefore,

The solution of the given proportion is $x=26$ .
