Question

Gordon types 43 3/4 pages in 3 1/2 hours. What is his rate in pages per hour

Answer 1

His rate is 12 1/2 pages per hour.

Explanation:

Given that,

Gordon types 43 3/4 pages in 3 1/2 hours or Gordon types 175/4 pages in 7/2 hours./ We need to find its rate in pages per hour. So,

`R=\frac{(175)/(4)\ \text{pages}}{(7)/(2)\ \text{hour}}\\\\R=(175)/(4)* (2)/(7)\\\\R=12.5\ \text{pages per hour}\\\\R=12(1)/(2)\ \text{pages per hour}`

Hence, his rate is 12 1/2 pages per hour.
