    Jason wrote a total of 8 pages over 2 hours. How many hours will Jason have to spend writing this week in order to have written a total of 12 pages? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

    Set up a proportion of pages to hours
    8 pages/2 hours = 12 pages/x hours

    enter 8/2 = 12/x into the search engine:
    x = 3
