Final answer:

To find out how many pages Grady can type in 1 hour, we can set up a proportion and solve for the unknown variable. Grady can type 2 pages in 1 hour.


Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many pages Grady can type in 1 hour, we need to determine how many pages he can type in 1/3 hour first. We know that in 1/3 hour, Grady can type 2/3 of a page. To find out how many pages he can type in 1 hour, we can set up a proportion:

2/3 page = 1/3 hour

x pages = 1 hour

Cross-multiplying, we get:

2/3 * 1 hour = 1/3 * x pages

2/3 * 3/1 = x pages

6/3 = x pages

x = 2 pages

Therefore, Grady can type 2 pages in 1 hour.
