x = the # of minutes needed to complete one page



1/12 minutes x minutes

--------------- = ---------------

1/6 page 1 page



Using cross multiplication



(1/12)(1)=(1/6)x

Multiply everything by 12

1=2x



x=1/2 minute

Nate's rate in minutes per page is

... (1/12 minutes)/(1/6 page) = 6/12 minutes/page = 1/2 minutes/page

It takes Nate 1/2 minute to write a page.
