Answer:

Brenda

Step-by-step explanation:

You can divide the number of pages by the number of minutes to find the amount of minutes it takes to read 1 page. For Arnold, 3 pages / 7 minutes = 1 page per approximately 0.43 minutes. For Brenda, 8 pages / 14 minutes = 1 page per approximately 0.57 minutes. Brenda reads slightly faster since 0.57 > 0.43

Show your mastery of multiplying fractions by using the sketchpad to find the product of 3-4 x 37

diamong [38]

Answer:

$\frac{111}{4}$

27 $\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Any regular whole number (37 for example) is over one so it would look like $\frac{37}{1}$ . Multiplying fractions involve just multiplying the numerators and denominators together, therefore it would look like $\frac{3}{4}$ × $\frac{37}{1}$ . Now just multiply the top and bottom numbers together and this will leave you with $\frac{111}{4}$ . But if you'd like to make it into a mixed number (more simplified version of $\frac{111}{4}$ ) then you would get 27 $\frac{3}{4}$ .
