The first thing I would do is divide the rate by 1 1/4, to get the amount per hour which gives us this:
20 pages per 1 hour
Now, that we know he reads 20 pages per hour, we just divide 230 by 20 to find the amount of hours. Our answer comes out to 11.5 hours.

Answer: 9 132
----------
250
9.524 = 9 + 0.524 = 9 + 524 = 9 524 = 9 524:2 = 9 262 = 9 134

1000 1000 1000:2 500 250
Answer:
first do:
60mph * 4 hours= 240mi
Let D = the distance the passenger train has to
travel to catch the freight train
Start a stopwatch when the passenger train leaves
Let t = the time on the stopwatch when they meet
Equation for freight train:
d-240=60t
Equation for passenger train:
d=100t
all together:
100t-240=60t
we can do 100t-60t because they both have (t)= 40t
40t=240 *now divide 240 by 40= 6
THEN do:
D= 100mph x 6= 600mi
They will meet 600 mi from the station
to check:
d-240=60t x 6
600-240= 360
60 x 6= 360
360=360
