    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. you have to make a proportion

    The proportion is 15 steps / 5 minutes

    2. Next you have to find the variable in the next proportion, so the variable would be the number of minutes

    So the proportion would look like 75 steps / " x" minutes

    3. Solve. 15 steps / 5 minutes = 75 steps / " x" minutes (Cross multiply)

    15x=5x75

    15x=375

    x=25

    4. So the answer is 25 minutes to walk 75 steps
