Question

Little sister needs help, can anyone explain this to her?

Answer 1

we are given

Number pages=8

Time taken =12 minutes

so, ratio = ( number pages)/(time taken)

so, we get

$=\frac{8}{12}$

now, we can simplify it

we can factor numerator and denominator

$=\frac{2\times 2\times 2}{2\times 2\times 3}$

now, we can cancel common terms

$=\frac{2}{3}$

So, simplest form is

$=\frac{2}{3}$..............Answer
