$\frac{distance}{time}= \frac{\frac{1}{6} mile}{2\ min} \\
 \frac{\frac{1}{6} mile}{2\ min} = \frac{2\ miles}{x} \\
\frac{1}{6}*x=2*2\\
6*(\frac{1}{6}x)=(4)*6\\\\
x=24min$

Answer:

The question is asking which numbers are larger with respect to one another. An easy way to do this is to convert to decimals, or just memorize it. 1/2=0.5, 3/4=0.75, 2/3=0.666666. So descending order (largest to smallest) 3/4, 2/3, 1/2.

It is given in the question that

Ms. Velez will use both x gray bricks and y red bricks to build a wall around her garden. Gray bricks cost $0.45 each and red bricks cost $0.58 each. She can spend up to $200 on her project, and wants the number of red bricks to be less than half the number of gray bricks.

Maximum she can spend is $200. That is

$0.45x + 0.58y \leq 200
\\ y< \frac{1}{2} x$
