Answer:

In an hour, Alex can wash 14 windows.

Explanation:

10 1/2 windows per 3/4 hour

per usually means a / sign because you are finding the unit rate

10.5/0.75 (I just converted everything into a fraction to make it easier)

solve:

10.5/0.75 = 14

Another way to solve:

10 1/2 / 3/4

= 21/2 * 4/3

= 21*4/2*3

= 84/6

= 14

Check:

If Alex washes 14 windows per hour, you can check by multiplying 14 by 3/4 of an hour

14*3/4

=42/4

=10.5

10.5 is the same as 10 1/2
