    1) ratio of number of seats to the number of minutes: 2 seats / 11 minutes

    2) proportion relating the number of seats s to the number of minutes m:

    s / m = 2 seats / 11 minutes

    3) How long will it take to add 16 seats

    16 seats / x = 2 seats / 11 minutes

    => x = 16 seats * 11 minutes / 2 seats = 88 minutes

    4) How long will it take to add 19 seats:

    19 seats / x = 2 seats / 11 minutes

    => x = 19 seats * 11 minutes / 2 seats = 104.5 minutes.
