we can make a relation


\begin{gathered} (2)/(3)\longrightarrow4 \\ \\ x\longrightarrow1 \end{gathered}

where x is the missing value

if she bikes 2/3km in 4 minutes how much kilometers she bike on 1 minute?

we solv using cross multiplication

we multiply 1 and 2/3 and the divide by 4


\begin{gathered} x=(1*(2)/(3))/(4) \\ \\ x=((2)/(3))/(4) \\ \\ x=(1)/(6) \end{gathered}

she will bike 1/6km in one minute
