Question

8. Lisa types 6 pages in 36 minutes. Frank types 5 pages in 30 minutes. Do they type at the same rate? Use a proportion to explain.

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

Lisa and Frank type at the same rate.

They both type 1 page every six minutes.

Lisa types 6 pages every 36 minutes, and if we divide the minutes by the pages, we get

`(36)/(6) = 6`

And Frank types 5 pages ever 30 minutes, when we divide we get

`(30)/(5) = 6`
