Aspen can work 25 math problems in 12 and half minutes. How long will it take her to work 38 problems?

Assuming her rate is constant, we can write the proportion

... (12.5 minutes)/(25 problems) = m/(38 problems) . . . m represents the time needed

Multiplying by 38 problems, we get

... m = (38/25)*12.5 minutes = 19 minutes

It will take Aspen 19 minutes to work 38 problems.
