Question

Jerry is a judge he hears 5 cases every 2 3/8 per hours Jerry hears case at a constant rate How many cases does he hear per hour

Answer 1

Around 2 I think... 2.10 is what I got 

Answer 2

`(40)/(19)(cases)/(hour)` or
`2(2)/(19)(cases)/(hour)`

Explanation:

we know that

Jerry hears
`5` cases every
`2(3)/(8)` hours

so

To find how many cases does he hear per hour, divide
`5` cases by
`2(3)/(8)` hours

convert mixed number to an improper fraction first

`2(3)/(8)=(2*8+3)/(8)=(19)/(8)`

`(5)/((19/8)) =(40)/(19)(cases)/(hour)`

convert to mixed number

`(40)/(19)(cases)/(hour)=(38)/(19)+(2)/(19)=2(2)/(19)(cases)/(hour)`
