213 is to 413 as 7 is to xMultiply the first two numbers by 3 to get7 is to 13 as 7 is to xSo it's now clear what x is!

Turn 2 1/3 into an improper fraction. It becomes 7/3.
Turn 4 1/3 into an improper fraction. It becomes 13/3.
The ratio of the two numbers is (2 1/3) divided by (4 1/3). This ratio is the same if we multiply top and bottom by 3, to get 3*(2 1/3) divided by 3*(4 1/3).
This is 3*(7/3) divided by 3*(13/3).
The 3's cancel on the top, leaving 7, and they cancel on the bottom, leaving 13. So the ratio is 7/13.
The missing number at the start is therefore 13.
