Question

Little sister needs help, can anyone explain this to her?

If Ben reads 8 pages in 12 minutes what is his ratio of pages to minutes in simplest form?

Sorry I didn't think it would send twice!!

Answer 1

we are given

Number pages=8

Time taken =12 minutes

so, ratio = ( number pages)/(time taken)

so, we get

`=(8)/(12)`

now, we can simplify it

we can factor numerator and denominator

`=(2* 2* 2)/(2* 2* 3)`

now, we can cancel common terms

`=(2)/(3)`

So, simplest form is

`=(2)/(3)`..............Answer
