It took 7.2 minutes to upload 8 digital photographs from your computer to a website. At this rate, how long will it take to upload 20 photographs? How do I set this problem up?

If it take some x minutes to upload some y digital photographs, it means it has an average of: x/y minutes to upload a single digital photograph. Then, to upload z photographs, you just multiply x/y by z.

Spoilers for answer:
If it take 7.2 minutes to upload 8 digital photographs, it means it has an average of: 7.2/8 = 0.9 minutes to upload a single digital photograph. This means that, by this rate, it will take 20 * 0.9 = 18 minutes to upload 20 photographs to the website.
