To solve this problem, we'll set up a ratio between the equivalent values.

We know that 1 1/2 pages and 1/4 of an hour are our two values, and assuming that Azi writes at a constant speed, we're able to write this ratio:

1.5 : .25

(I'm just writing with decimals because I find them easier to work with, but decimals or fractions will give you the correct answer.)

Since .25 is 1/4 of an hour, we can multiply this value by 4 to get 1 hour.

Additionally, since this is a ratio, what you do to one side must be done to the other, so 1.5 will also be multiplied by 4.

(1.5 x 4) = (.25 x 4)

6 = 1

Therefore, Azi can type 6 pages in one hour.

Hope this helped! :)
