Erik types 1 over 3, of a page in 1 over 5, of an hour. At this rate, how many pages will he type in one hour? Express your answer as a fraction.

Answer 1

Use a ratio (1/3 page)/(1/5 hour) = (x pages)/(1 hour) where x = the unknown pages

Then the number of pages is (1/3)(5/1) = 5/3 pages

Answer 2

1/3 page in 1/5 hour

5/3 page in 1 hour
