37.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set a ratio to model this problem

It takes Jacob 25 minutes to line 2/3 of the flag football field.

The ratio here is 25 : 2/3.

We want to figure out what x : 1 is.

25 : 2/3

x : 1

We can model this by fractions:

$\frac{25}{\frac{2}{3}} = x$

When you divide by a fraction, you end up multiplying it by the reciprocal.

$25(\frac{3}{2})=x$

$x=\frac{75}{2}$

x = 37.5
