Question

Explain how to simplify this complex fraction. Interpret the meaning of the result.

Answer 1

Answer:

330 pages in 45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

All the work I did is at the top.So first we want to know how many minutes is 3/4 of an hour. We already know an hour is 60 minutes. Since it is out of 4 we are going to divide 60 by 4.

Hopefully you can read the work I put up there, but anyways it equals 15. Now we have to do 15 times 3 to get our answer

This equals 45. This means the person read 330 pages in 45 minutes!
