Question

jada can write 3 1/4 pages in 8 minutes. At this rate, how many pages could jada write in 24 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer:

9  3/4  pages = x    

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{pages}{minutes} = \frac{pages}{minutes}$        change 3 1/4 to a decimal

$\frac{3.25}{8} = \frac{x}{24}$

$3.25(24) = 8x$

$78 = 8x$

$\frac{78}{8} = x$

$9.75 = x$  

$9\frac{3}{4} =x$

working with the fraction

3 1/4 /8 = x/ 24

3 1/4 (24) = 8x            

 13/4 (24) = 8x

  316/4 = 8x

  78 = 8x

78/8 = x

9 3/4 = x
