Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 12x represent the original number.

One fourth of that number can be represented by 3x, and one third of the number can be represented by 4x.

Create an equation that sets this equal to 38, and solve for x:

12x + 3x + 4x = 38

19x = 38

x = 2

The original number is represented by 12x, so plug in 2 as x:

12(2)

= 24

So, the original number is 24.

It took Margie 2 1/4hours to write a 1 1/2 page research paper . What was her hourly writing rate
WARRIOR [948]


Margie would take 1 hour and 30 minutes to write 1 page of her research paper. Think of it like a proportion:

2.25/ 1.5 = x/1

2.25 is the 2 1/4 converted which is the amount of hours she took.

1.5 is the 1 1/2 converted which are the amount of pages she wrote total.

1 on the right side of the proportion represents  1 page.

And x are the amount of hours used  to write 1 page.

And in solving that proportion  it would result in 1.5 or 1hr. and 30 min.
