How would you set up this proportion?
(12/30) = (x/150)
(150/30) = (12/x)
(30/12) = (150/x)
(30/x) = (150/12)

How would you set up this proportion?
(72 hours/1,250 miles) = (x hours/1,875 miles)
(1,250 miles/1,875 miles) = (x hours/72 hours)
(1,250 miles/72 hours) = (1,875 miles/ x hours)
(72 hours/1,250 miles) = (1,875 miles/x hours)

How would you set up this proportion?
(x/18) = 108/2)
(18/2) = (108/x)
(108/2) = (18/x)
(x/108) = (2/18)
