In order to come to that conclusion, I didn't do any figuring, ciphering, numerating, or calculating of any kind. I just sat there and looked at the question. I noticed that the second example is <u>more pages</u> than the first one, but done in <u>less time</u> than the first one. So I know that it must be a greater rate of cranking out the pages.
1. Convert the mixed fractions to a decimal.
2 1/4 is 2.25
1 2/4 is 1.5
2. Add them up.
3. 3.75 as a decimal or 3 3/4 as a mixed fraction or 15/4 as a improper fraction.
