<PRE><B>Question 1053615</B>
 Brady needs to type a seven page essay. He can type two-thirds of a paper in 12 minutes. How long will it take him to write it? 
-----------------------
Use a proportion:
x/7 = 12/(2/3)
-----------------------
x = (7*12)/(2/3)
---
x = 7*12(3/2) = 7*18 = 126 minutes
