Question

Gordon types 43 3/4 pages in 3 1/2 hours. What is his rate in pages per hour

Answer 1

Answer:

His rate is 12 1/2 pages per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Gordon types 43 3/4 pages in 3 1/2 hours or Gordon types 175/4 pages in 7/2 hours./ We need to find its rate in pages per hour. So,

$R=\dfrac{\dfrac{175}{4}\ \text{pages}}{\dfrac{7}{2}\ \text{hour}}\\\\R=\dfrac{175}{4}\times \dfrac{2}{7}\\\\R=12.5\ \text{pages per hour}\\\\R=12\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{pages per hour}$

Hence, his rate is 12 1/2 pages per hour.
