Question

jada can write 3 1/4 pages in 8 minutes. At this rate, how many pages could jada write in 24 minutes?

Answer 1

9 3/4 pages = x

Explanation:

`(pages)/(minutes) = (pages)/(minutes)` change 3 1/4 to a decimal

`(3.25)/(8) = (x)/(24)`

`3.25(24) = 8x`

`78 = 8x`

`(78)/(8) = x`

`9.75 = x`

`9(3)/(4) =x`

working with the fraction

3 1/4 /8 = x/ 24

3 1/4 (24) = 8x

13/4 (24) = 8x

316/4 = 8x

78 = 8x

78/8 = x

9 3/4 = x
