Question

Leo reads 13 pages in 1/3 hour?

a) what is the unit rate for page per hour
b)what is the unit rate for hours per page?

Answer 1

a) there are 3 times 1/3 in each hour: so we have to multiply the original number by 3: 3*13=39!!


b)

so, 13 pages in 1/3 of an hour

for this we have to divide the time needed for the 13 pages by 13:


`(1)/(3*13) = (1)/(39)`

so each page requires
`(1)/(39)` of an hour, which is approximately 1.5 minutes.
