Question

Proportions:

An airplane boards 16 people every 3 minutes How long would it take to board all 150 passengers?

Answer 1

you would set up your proportion like this 16/3 = 150/x. then all you have to do is cross multiply both sections, so 16x = 450, then just solve for x, by dividing 450 by 16, which gives you x=28.125.
