The equation would be

(65)/(60) = (x)/(22)

Cross multiply.

60x=1430

x=28.8

You are travelling 65 miles in 1 hour, or 60 minutes.

So 65 miles in 60 minutes
And x miles in 22 minutes

We can solve the following for x to get the answer


(65)/(60) = (x)/(22)\\ 22(65) = 60x \\1430 = 60x \\x = 23.83

Hope that helps. :)
