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

Alika [10]

Hello!

We know that from midnight to 6am the temperature went up 8° and at 6am it was -21°

To find what it was at midnight we have to work backwards

Since it went up we have to subtract 8 from -21

-21 - 8 = -29

The answer is -29°C

Hope this helps!
