To start to figure this problem out, we can first figure out how many more pages you read in an hour compared to your sister.
50 - 40 = 10, so you read 10 more pages in 1 hour.
Now we have to figure out how much more you would read in 1/2 an hour. Since 1/2 an hour is 1/2 of an hour, we can divide 10 by 2 to figure out how many more pages you read in an hour compared to your sister. 10 divided by 2 is 5, so you read 5 more pages every half hour.
The LCD is 10 because you can multiply 2/5 by 2 to get 4/10
It would be equal to 1 7/8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
two step equation
n - 5/2 = 5
n = 5 + 5/2
n = 5 + 2.5
n = 7.5
-----------
check
7.5 - 5/2 = 5
7.5 - 2.5 = 5
5 = 5
the answer is good
Sorry but can we get a better shot of the paper can barley see it
