A bicyclist rides 12 miles in 132 minutes. If she continues at this speed, how long will it take her to travel 66 miles?

HELP ASAP ! :)

12/132 = 66/x...12 miles to 132 min = 66 miles to x min
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(12)(x) = (132)(66)
12x = 8712
x = 8712/12
x = 726 minutes or 12 hrs and 6 minutes
