(4368)/(6208)=(273)/(388)=0.7036
(4368.0)/(620.8)=(1395)/(194)\approx7

---------------------------------

436.8m -------------------> 62.08s

xm -------------------------->1s

Using cross multiplication:


\begin{gathered} (436.8)/(x)=(62.08)/(1) \\ \text{solve for x:} \\ x=(436.8)/(62.08) \\ x=7.036082474m \\ \end{gathered}
