Question

Veronica takes 1/3 of an hour to write 1/4 of a page of

calligraphy. how long will it take veronica to write one page?

Answer 1

4/3 hours or 1 hour 20 minutes.

Explanation:

1/4 page takes 1/3 hour to write.

By proportion 1 page will take 1/3 / 1/4

= 1/3 * 4

= 4/3 hours.

Answer 2

`1(1)/(3)\text{ hours}`

Explanation:

Given,

Time taken to write 1/4 of a page =
`(1)/(3)` hour,

i.e. the ratio of time taken and number of pages wrote =
`(1/3)/(1/4)=(4)/(3)`

Let x be the time taken to write a full page,

So, the ratio of time taken( in hours ) and page wrote =
`(x)/(1)`

`\implies (x)/(1)=(4)/(3)`

`x=1(1)/(3)`

Hence, the time taken to write 1 page is
`1(1)/(3)` hours.
