The formula for distance problems is: distance = rate × time or d = r × t
Things to watch out for:
Make sure that you change the units when necessary. For example, if the rate is given in miles per hour and the time is given in minutes then change the units appropriately.
It would be helpful to use a table to organize the information for distance problems. A table helps you to think about one number at a time instead being confused by the question.
The following diagrams give the steps to solve Distance-Rate-Time Problems. Scroll down the page for examples and solutions. We will show you how to solve distance problems by the following examples:

You just put the scale of one building on one side and the scale of the similar building on other side, with width and length written in same place (denominator or numerator). With x for the part that you dont know
Length of one building / width of one building = length of other building / width of other building
12 / 9 = 100 / x
Solve for x, by cross-multiplying
12 * x = 100 * 9
12x = 900
X = 900/12
X = 75 ft
Answer:the ration to x and b that equals c is about 3 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in 0.9 for x
-(x) + 2.7
- (0.9) + 2.7
simplify
2.7 - 0.9 = 1.8
1.8 is your answer
hope this helps
