#x=\pi/12#

Explanation:

Since #260# degrees are #2\pi# radians, the proportion would be

#15:360=x:2\pi#. Basically, you're writing "my angle in degree is a part of the whole #360^@# angle in the same ratio in which my angle in radians is part of the whole #2\pi# angle.

From the proportion, we have

#x=(15*2\pi)/360 = (30\pi)/360 = \pi/12#
