Answer: 0.75 (choice B)

=============================================

Explanation:

One way to set up the equation is to think of it like this

vertical/horizontal = vertical/horizontal

So we could say

(3.5)/(28) = x/6

Cross multiply and solve for x

3.5*6 = 28*x

21 = 28x

x = 21/28

x = (3*7)/(4*7)

x = 3/4 in fraction form

x = 0.75 in decimal form

-------------

Another possible set up equation is

28/6 = (3.5)/x

in this case I divided the horizontal sides together (28 and 6) and the vertical sides divide to form their own separate fraction as well.

Solving that equation should lead you to x = 3/4 = 0.75

Other equations are possible.
