Question

Ethan writes 1/6 of a page in 1/12 of a minute. How much time does it take him to write a full page?

Answer 1

(1/6) / (1/12) = 1/x....1/6 pg to 1/12 min = 1 pg to x min
cross multiply
(1/6)(x) = (1/12)(1)
1/6x = 1/12.....multiply by 6, cancelling out the 1/6 on the left side
x = 1/12 * 6
x = 6/12 reduces to 1/2 min <===

Answer 2

I think its 7 hours and a half (30 minutes)
