Simply set up the equation \"4%2F30=x%2F72\" where 'x' is the number of miles she runs in 72 minutes. Notice how the ratio of 4 to 30 is equal to the ratio of x to 72.\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2F30=x%2F72\" Start with the given ratio\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%284%2F30%29%2A72=x\" Multiply both sides by 72\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"288%2F30=x\" Multiply\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"48%2F5=x\" Reduce.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So our answer is \"x=48%2F5\" which in decimal form is \"x=9.6\" which means that she can run 9.6 miles in 72 minutes.
