#"m"=42/99#

Explanation:

To solve this problem you cross multiply as follows:

#color(blue)7/color(green)(9m)=color(green)11/color(blue)6#

#color(green)(9m)color(green)((11))=99"m"#

#color(blue)7color(blue)((6))=42#

Set them equal to each other and solve:

#99"m"=42#

#cancel((99)"m")/cancel99=42/99#

#"m"=42/99#
