to solve for $f$ in the equation $17/5.2 = f/13$

we would multiply both sides by $13$

$13(17/5.2) = 13(f/13)$

as $f$ is dived by $13$ and now we multiply by $13$ we will be left with $f$ .

so we have

$13(17/5.2) = f$

Therefore $f = 42.5$

thus you can rewrite the above proportion as:

$17/5.2 = 42.5/13$
