Answer:

Ethan can type 12 pages before the meeting starts.

Explanation:

Given:

Number of pages he can type =2

Number of hours he can type 2 pages =
\frac{1}8\ hrs

We need to find number of pages he can type in
\frac34\ hrs

Solution:

Now first we will find number of pages in 1 hour

So we can say;

In
\frac{1}8\ hrs = 2 pages

In 1 hour = number of pages he can type in 1 hour

By Using Unitary method we get;

number of pages he can type in 1 hour =
(2)/(\frac18) =(2*8)/(1)=16\ pages

Now we can say that;

In 1 hour = 16 pages

So
\frac34\ hrs = number of pages he can type in
\frac34\ hrs

Again By using Unitary method we get;

number of pages he can type in
\frac34\ hrs =
16* \frac34 = 12\ pages

Hence Ethan can type 12 pages before the meeting starts.
