Question

Ethan decides to type up some documents while waiting for the meeting to start he can type two pages every 1/8 hour if the meeting starts 3/4 hour later than the scheduled time how many pages can he typed before the meeting starts

Answer 1

Answer:

Ethan can type 12 pages before the meeting starts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of pages he can type =2

Number of hours he can type 2 pages = $\frac{1}8\ hrs$

We need to find number of pages he can type in $\frac34\ hrs$

Solution:

Now first we will  find number of pages in 1 hour

So we can say;

In $\frac{1}8\ hrs$  = 2 pages

In 1 hour = number of pages he can type in 1 hour

By Using Unitary method we get;

number of pages he can type in 1 hour = $\frac{2}{\frac18} =\frac{2\times8}{1}=16\ pages$

Now we can say that;

In 1 hour = 16 pages

So $\frac34\ hrs$ = number of pages he can type in $\frac34\ hrs$

Again By using Unitary method we get;

number of pages he can type in $\frac34\ hrs$ = $16\times \frac34 = 12\ pages$

Hence Ethan can type 12 pages before the meeting starts.
