Answer 1

Answer:

x = 6/7 of a puzzle

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of puzzle : time taken

= 3/4 : 7/8

How much a puzzle can she complete in an hour?

Let

x = number of puzzle to complete

Number of puzzle : time taken

= x : 1

Equate both ratios to solve for x

3/4 : 7/8 = x : 1

3/4 ÷ 7/8 = x / 1

3/4 × 8/7 = x / 1

24/28 = x / 1

Cross product

24 * 1 = 28 * x

24 = 28x

x = 24/28

= 6/7

x = 6/7 of a puzzle
