Rule of thumb help

hello everyone, Just wondering if anyone knows a quick rule of thumb to solve this kind of problems:
Descending at X fpm with X ground speed what distance over the ground would you cover descending from X to Y altitude?

And distance Vs altitude on 3° glide with a visual vertical guidance during the approach.

many thanks
