Hope this helps!!

Answer 2

He writes
`(1)/(18)` manuscripts in 1 hour

Explanation:

Let John writes x manuscripts in 1 hour,

So, the number of manuscripts he writes in 12 hours = 12x

According to the question,

`12x=(2)/(3)`

`x=(2)/(36)`

`\implies x=(1)/(18)`

Hence, he writes
`(1)/(18)` manuscripts in 1 hour.
