How many miles did Abe ride?

Amil rode 15 miles in 55 minutes. Abe rode for 77 minutes. Their rates were proportional.

The proportion comes from:
"15 is to 55   AS  x is to 77"
 
15/55 = x/77
 
If you wish to deal with smaller numbers you can
reduce 15/55 to 3/11
 
3/11 = x/77
cross multiply and solve for x
