Question

You write 5 1/2 pages of a report in 2 1/3 hours what’s is the average number of pages you write per hour

Answer 1

`2(5)/(14) \ pages/hour`

Explanation:

`\boxed{average=(total\ pages)/(total\ hours) }`

`=(5(1)/(2) )/(2(1)/(3) )`

`=5(1)/(2) /2(1)/(3)`

`=(11)/(2) /(7)/(3)`

`=(11)/(2) *(3)/(7)`

`=(11*3)/(2*7)`

`=(33)/(14)`

`=2(5)/(14) \ pages/hour`
