A bicyclist rides 12 miles in 132 minutes. If she continues at this speed, how long will it take her to travel 66 miles?

Answer 1

Let x = the number of minutes

miles:minutes

12/132 = 66/m

12x = 8712

x = 726 minutes



Answer 2

Set up a ratio:

12/132 = 66/x and solve via cross multiplication

12x = 8712

x = 726 minutes
