Question

Lee can type 1 1/3 pages every 15 minutes. How many hours does it take him to type 10 2/3 pages? Complete the rate table to solve the proportion.

Answer 1

The rate we have here is 1 1/3 pages in 15 minutes. We can do a cross-multiplication to find our missing value. 1.33/15 = 10.67/x 1.33x=15(10.67) x is approximately 120.34
