Question

Jamar read 252 pages in 3/4 of an hour. At what rate, in pages per hour, did he read?

Answer 1

336 pages per hour (pretty fast)

Explanation:

It's hard to explain for me (I'm just doing my best to answer it) but I got the answer from estimating values with a calculator. The proof of it as an answer can be seen from this equation: 336 * 0.75 (or 3/4) = 252. It's pretty late for me so I'm having a hard time reverse engineering the equation. Hopefully this still helps though. :)

Answer 2

• 336 pages per hour

Explanation:

Given rate is

• 252 pages per 3/4 of an hour

Divide both numbers by 3/4 to get the unit rate per hour

• 252 ÷ 3/4 =
• 252 × 4/3 =
• 1008/3 =
• 336
