Answer:

25 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Zakarya can read 5 pages in 8 minutes. First we divided 40 by 8, to see how many times of 8 she reads. She reads for 8 five times (40 minutes). We can multiply 5 (number of 8 minutes she reads) times 5 (pages she reads every 8 minutes) to get 25. She reads 25 pages in 40 minutes. Please tell me if this is wrong or makes no sense :).

Answer:

$34.83

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert 3/4 to decimal form: 3/4 = 0.75

Create a proportion using similar rates:

$2.75 / 0.75 lb = x / 9.5 lb

where "x" represents the price of the 9.5 lbs of grapes we need to find.

Solve for x by multiplying both sides by 9.5 lb to isolate x completely

2.75 * 9.5 / 0.75 = x
