Question

Mayerlin read 28 pages in 2/3 of an hour. At what rate, on pages per hour did she read ?

Answer 1

Answer: 42 pages

Explanation:

2/3x=28

Then divide each side by 2:

1/3x=14

That means in 1/3 of an hour, Mayerlin reads 14 pages.

Multiply that be 3 and you get 42 pages :)

Answer 2

42 pages/hour

Explanation:

28/2=14 which gives us how many pages Mayerlin read in 1/3 of an hour. We can then take 14 and multiply it by 3 to get 42 pages.
