Answer: [tex]x=21.75[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to convert from mixed number to decimal number.

In order to do this, you can follow the steps shown below:

1. You must divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator of the fraction.

2. Now you must add the quotient obtained to the Whole number part.

Then, you get:

[tex]7\frac{1}{4}=7+0.25=7.25[/tex]

Then, the scale image that maps "Figure A" onto "Figure B" is:

[tex]1:7.25[/tex]

Finally, in order to find the value of "x", you need to multiply the given length of the corresponding side of "Figure A" by [tex]7.25[/tex].

Therefore, the result is:

[tex]x=(3)(7.25)\\\\x=21.75[/tex]
