    Tamara can proofread 16 pages in 8 minutes. How many minutes will it take her to proofread 108 pages

    Set up a proportion of pages to minutes:

    16 pages/8 minutes = 108 pages / p minutes

    We want to solve for p.

    Type 16/8 = 108/p into the search engine.
    We get p = 54 minutes
