First, we transform the mixed fractions
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2\frac{1}{4}=2+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{8}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{9}{4} \\ 1\frac{1}{2}=1+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2} \\ 3\frac{3}{5}=3+\frac{3}{5}=\frac{15}{5}+\frac{3}{5}=\frac{18}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Then, we use cross multiplication
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\frac{9}{4}}{x}=\frac{9}{4}\times\frac{1}{x}=\frac{9}{4x} \\ \frac{\frac{5}{2}}{\frac{18}{5}}=\frac{3}{2}\times\frac{5}{18}=\frac{15}{36} \end{gathered}[/tex]
so, we have
[tex]\frac{9}{4x}=\frac{15}{36}[/tex]
Finally, we solve for x, we multiply x on both sides
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{9}{4x}x=\frac{15}{36}x \\ \frac{15}{36}x=\frac{9}{4} \\ x=\frac{\frac{9}{4}}{\frac{15}{36}} \\ x=\frac{9}{4}\times\frac{36}{15} \\ x=\frac{9\times9\times4}{15\times4} \\ x=\frac{81}{15} \\ x=\frac{27}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Since 27/5 = 5+2/5.Then,
[tex]x=5\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
Then the answer is the second one.
