What you are doing with proportions most the time is solving for a variable which in this example I will use an x. You have to do something called cross multiplying. now look at number 21. when you cross multiply you multiply the number of the top part of the fraction on the left side to the bottom part of the fraction on the right side. In that example 1 × 36 = 36. now write 36 = 16x since you have to cross multiply the other parts of the fraction. Then you would divide both sides of the equation by 16. I will make a mixed fraction for this example. 2 4/16 which simplified equals 2 1/4

I know the distance from me to my destination. I ,also, know how many miles per hour, I'm going. How do I find out how long it w

MissTica

You simply need to devide the distance by the speed to get the time, so: 600÷50= 12hrs
This is only if you drive the same speed rhe whole way and do not stop. If you stopped you need to add the delay to the time.
For example: if you delayed 20 min altogether you need to add 12:00+00:20= 12:20.
