A teacher reviews 4-1/2 papers per hour, how many papers will that teacher review in 6-1/3 hours

MrRa [10]

Answer:

$28\frac{1}{2}\ papers$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Convert mixed numbers to an improper fractions

$4\frac{1}{2}=\frac{4*2+1}{2}=\frac{9}{2}$

$6\frac{1}{3}=\frac{6*3+1}{3}=\frac{19}{3}$

step 2

we know that

A teacher reviews 9/2 papers per hour

using proportion

Find how many papers will the teacher review in 19/3 hours

Let

x-----> the number of papers

$(9/2)/1=x/(19/3)$

$x=(19/3)(9/2)$

$x=28.5\ papers$

Convert to mixed numbers

$28.5=28\frac{1}{2}\ papers$
