we are given:
#5/9# #=# #x/63#

Here, #x# is the unknown

Leaving #x# at the R.H.S
We shift 63 to the L.H.S (numerator)

so now we get:
#5/9# x 63 #=# #x#
on solving:

#x# #=# 35

So our proportion is :
#5/9# #=# #35/63#
note: on solving the fractions we get the equal value of 0.55 on both the sides
L.H.S = R.H.S hence they are in proportion.
