Answer 1

For this problem, you need to create a proportion.
40 inches/12 minutes=100 inches/x
Let x be the number of minutes it takes to weave 100 inches
Solve
40x=1200
x=30 minutes

Answer 2

40 inches/12 minutes=100 inches/x
x will be the number of minutes it takes to weave 100 inches.
Solve
40x=1200
x=30 minutes
