Bicycles: An assembly line worker at Rob's Bicycle factory adds a seat to a bicycle at a rate of 2 seats in 11 minutes.

Write a proportion relating the number of seats \(s\) to the number of minutes \(m\).

At this rate, how long will it take to add 16 seats? 19 seats?

2/11=16/x Cross Multiply 2x= 176 Solve for x. x=88 minutes.
2/11=19/x Cross Multiply 2x=209 Solve for x. X=104.5 minutes.
