1. **State the problem:** Solve the proportion $$\frac{24}{4} = \frac{x}{11}$$ to find the value of $x$.
2. **Formula used:** In a proportion $$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}$$, the cross products are equal, so $$a \times d = b \times c$$.
3. **Apply the formula:**
$$24 \times 11 = 4 \times x$$
4. **Calculate the left side:**
$$264 = 4x$$
5. **Solve for $x$ by dividing both sides by 4:**
$$\frac{264}{\cancel{4}} = \frac{4x}{\cancel{4}}$$
6. **Simplify:**
$$66 = x$$
7. **Final answer:**
$$x = 66$$
Note: The user's answer $x=60$ is incorrect; the correct value is $66$.
