$$\begin{aligned}x &= \frac{280}{47} \approx 5.9574\end{aligned}$$

First, simplify the equation.$$23.5 : 5 = 28 : x$$$$47 : 10=56 : 2 x$$

Express both ratios as fractions. $$\frac{47}{10} = \frac{56}{2 x}$$

Cross-multiply and solve for the unknown. $$\begin{aligned}\frac{47}{10} &= \frac{56}{2 x} \\ 94 x &= 560 \\ x &&= \frac{280}{47} \approx 5.9574 \end{aligned}$$
