3
of a page in
1
5
hour. How many pages can the student type in an hour?

Answer 1

A student can type 3.33 pages in 1 hour.

Explanation:

(Assuming you mean 2/3 of a page and 1/5 of an hour)

To solve this we need to multiply both sides by 5. This is because when you multiply 1/5 by 5 you get 1 hour and what you do to one side you must do to the other.

1/5 * 5 = 1

2/3 * 5 = 3.3333

Rounding to the nearest hundredth:

3.33

A student can type 3.33 pages in 1 hour.

Answer 2

10/3 or 3 1/3 pages
