Question

Henry can write 5 1/4 pages of his novel in hours at this rate how many pages can henry write in 8 hours

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of pages written in 8 hours = 42 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Henry can write 5 1/4 pages of his novel in hours.

$\texttt{Number of pages written in 1 hour = }5\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5\times 4+1}{4}=\frac{21}{4}$

We need to find how many pages can Henry write in 8 hours

Time of writing = 8 hours.

$\texttt{Total number of pages written in 8 hours = }8\times \frac{21}{4}=42\texttt{ pages}$

Number of pages written in 8 hours = 42 pages

Answer 2

5 1/4 if you convert it the fraction to decimal it will be 5.25.
5.25*8=42.
Henry wrote 42 pages in 8 hours
