1. **State the problem:** We are given that six tablets of soap cost 440. We need to find the cost of 11 tablets.
2. **Identify the type of proportion:** The problem involves direct proportion because the cost increases as the number of tablets increases.
3. **Formula for direct proportion:** If $x$ and $y$ are directly proportional, then $\frac{y_1}{x_1} = \frac{y_2}{x_2}$.
4. **Apply the formula:** Let $y$ be the cost and $x$ be the number of tablets.
Given: $x_1 = 6$, $y_1 = 440$, $x_2 = 11$, and we want to find $y_2$.
$$\frac{440}{6} = \frac{y_2}{11}$$
5. **Solve for $y_2$:** Multiply both sides by 11:
$$y_2 = 11 \times \frac{440}{6}$$
6. **Simplify the expression:**
$$y_2 = \frac{11 \times 440}{6}$$
7. **Calculate the value:**
$$y_2 = \frac{4840}{6} = 806.67$$
8. **Interpret the result:** The cost of 11 tablets is 806.67.
**Final answer:** The cost of 11 tablets is 806.67.
