It takes 450 minutes to get 90 points.
5 minutes: 1 point. x minutes/90 points.
Multiply 90 by 5 to get 450. To check your work, divide 450 (minutes) by 90 (points), and you get the ratio of 5 minutes to 1 point, the unit rate.
I sincerely hope this helped! ;)

You can solve this with either logic or a proportion...
If one point takes 5 minutes, 90 points would take 90 times as long, or
90*5 = 450 minutes = 7.5 hours
You can also write
5%2F1+=+x%2F90
x = 450 minutes
