[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccll} \stackrel{drain}{minutes}&\stackrel{bathtub}{gallons}\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 7\frac{1}{2}&70\\ 1&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{7\frac{1}{2}}{1}=\cfrac{70}{x}\implies \cfrac{\frac{15}{2}}{\frac{1}{1}}=\cfrac{70}{x} \\\\\\ \cfrac{15}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{1}=\cfrac{70}{x}\implies \cfrac{15}{2}=\cfrac{70}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{2\cdot 70}{15}[/tex]
