(7 miles)/(50 minutes) = (x miles)/(75 minutes)

7/50 = x/75

7*75 = 50x

525 = 50x

50x = 525

x = 525/50

x = 10.5

He can run 10.5 miles in 75 minutes

Use a proportion::
x/75 = 7/50
-----
x = (75/50)7
-----
x = (3/2)7

7 miles in 50 minutes

x miles in 75 minutes

Therefore:

Cross multiply:

50x = 525

x = 10.5
