anonymous · Answer

I think you would set up a proportion...  I wonder what they taught you so far.

eclipsedstar · Answer

Well, I'm taking an online class, so...

eclipsedstar · Answer

I can't exactly explain what I'm learning... :)

anonymous · Answer

The proportion here is:$$
\frac{\text{time}}{\text{calculations}}=\frac xk = \frac sc \implies  x = \frac {ks}c
$$But $x$ is in seconds, so you divide by $60$ to make it minutes...$$
\frac{ks}{60c}
$$
