The best way to solve this one is with a proportion:
(15 steps) / (5 minutes) = (75 steps) / ('x' minutes)
Cross-multiply the proportion: 15 x = 5 x 75
Divide each side by 15 : x = 5 x 5 = <em>25 minutes</em>.
You are correct, and Paul walks very slowly.
The proportion equal to a/b = c/d is A.) A/C = B/D
We will know if a proportion is equivalent when its cross products are equal.
a/b = c/d where ad = bc
since ad = bc, a/c = b/d
