    You can simply write the equation (on the computer) as:

    22 / 55 = 12 / x

    It will be understandable for all the mathematicians here on ''Yahoo!Answers''.

    22x = 55 * 12

    22x = 660

    x = 660/22

    x = 30

    ANSWER ==> 30 (second option)

    Read this article. It might help:
