First you will want to fin the unit rate to do that you will divide 3/5by 7/10
3/5•10/7
=30/35
=0.86
Since you know the unit rate you can find the time for the yards and you can now make a equation and solve it
0.86x=12
0.86x/0.86=12/0.86
=13.95
So it will take the ant 13.95 minutes to crawl 12 yards
