Question

Shawn is typing a paper for class. He can type 1 5/11 pages in 1/ 3 of an hour. How many pages can Shawn type in one hour?

A 1 3/11
B 1 8/11
C 4 4/11
D 5 9/11​

Answer 1

the amount of pages typed after 1/3 of an hour is given. Multiply this number by 3 to get the full hour of pages types.

1 5/12 * 3 = 3(1) + 3(5/12)

= 3 5/4

= 4 1/4 pages
