Answer 1

To solve the world problem, you shall use the rule of 3:

555 - 333

x - 888

(888 * 555) / 333 = x

492840 / 333 = x

1480 = x

Answer:

$\boxed{\bf~Henry~can~write~1480~pages~in~888~hours}.$

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

Answer 2

Number of pages written in 333 hours = 555

Number of pages written in 1 hour =$\frac{555}{333}$

Number of pages written in 888 hours = $\frac{555}{333} \times 888$

= 1480 pages
