To solve the proportion \( \frac{2.8}{3.2} = \frac{2.1}{x} \), you can cross-multiply:
\[ 2.8 \cdot x = 3.2 \cdot 2.1 \]
Calculating the right-hand side:
\[ 3.2 \cdot 2.1 = 6.72 \]
Now the equation becomes:
\[ 2.8x = 6.72 \]
Next, divide both sides by \( 2.8 \) to find \( x \):
\[ x = \frac{6.72}{2.8} \]
Calculating the division:
\[ x = 2.4 \]
Thus, the value of \( x \) is \( 2.4 \).
