missing information
I know.. I can't solve it..
d=18t
The distance (d) in meters that an ant can travel varies directly with the amount of time (t) in hours it spends walking. Assume that an ant’s constant of proportionality is 18.
Write an equation to represent the proportional relationship between d and t using the information given.
*My answer d=18t*

If an ant traveled 22.5 meters, how long did it walk?
*My answer ??? hours

you correctly used the fact that distance = speed * time
So, it should be clear that time = distance/speed
However, your relation d = 18t is supposed to have t in hours.
10 minutes is 1/6 hour
so, the distance walked is 18 * 1/6 = 3 m
Now find the time for part (b)
