Hey!
First thing we can divide 25/2 to get 12.5
Next we can multiply 137.5 * 12.5 to get your answer of 1,718.75 hope this helps

This is a proportion problem. 2 is to 25 minutes as x minutes is to 137.5 minutes ( I assume you meant minutes).

x= minutes walked in 137.5 minutes

2/25 = x/137.5
cross multiply
2*137.5 = 25*x
275 = 25x
divide both sides by 25
11 = x

He can walk 11 miles in 137.5 minutes.

Hope this helps! :)
