Fill in the blank question.

**b.** Solve the proportion. Explain the meaning of the solution.
 
r=�= , so Kina's rate is  miles per hour and Aiesha's rate is  miles per hour.
 

Let's break down the question step by step.

1. **Proportion to Solve**: A proportion generally takes the form of two equivalent ratios. If we have an equation like:

\[
\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \frac{x_1}{x_2}
\]

We can solve it by cross-multiplying and solving for the unknown.

2. **Explanation of the Meaning of the Solution**: Once we solve for the unknown (typically a rate), we interpret it as a comparison between two rates, distances, or times. In this case, the rates could represent Kina’s and Aiesha’s speeds, which would be in miles per hour.

Without more specific values or information, the equation to be solved cannot be clearly identified. Could you clarify the proportion you’re working with or provide more details on the rates for Kina and Aiesha?

### Related Questions:
1. What is the original ratio for Kina's rate?
2. What is the original ratio for Aiesha's rate?
3. Can you clarify if the distances or times are also part of the proportion?
4. What values are given in the proportion problem?
5. Are Kina and Aiesha traveling the same distance in different times?

### Tip:
In proportions, remember to cross-multiply to find the unknown quantity and ensure both ratios compare the same types of measurements (e.g., both in miles per hour).
