Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
33769/181
Discussion:
Each term contains "x" so factoring it out gives
x( 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17) = 71 (*)
Use common factor (17*14*4 = 952) as the denominator to combine terms:
1/4 = (17*14)/ 952 = 238/952
1/14 = (17*4)/952 = 68/952
1/17 = (14*4)/952 = 56/952
so 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17 = (238 + 68 + 56)/ 952 = 362/952 = 181/476
Substituting in (*) gives
x ( 181/476) = 71 => multiply both sides by 476/181
x = (71 * 476)/181 => 71* 476 =33769
x = 33769/181
Thank you,

Answer:
Jeff read 5/28 of a book in 1 hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate given is 5/7 of a book read in 4 hours.
If the questions asks how much he read in 1 hour, it means the answer needed is a unit rate.
A unit rate is a rate per unit. In this case, a rate per hour.
Let’s find how much Jeff read in 1 hour:
5/7 in 4 hours is the rate given so:
5/7 ÷ 4
= 5/7 x 1/4
= 5/28 (already simplified/final answer)
SO, Jeff read 5/28 of the book in 1 hour.
