Jamall rights 1/8 page and 1/4 of a minute. How much time will it take Jamall to write a four page?

Answer 1

If he writes 1/8 of a page in 1/4 of a minute, 4 pages will take 32 times as long

4/(1/8) = 32

32 x 1/4 = 8 minutes to write 4 pages

1/4 is twice 1/8; 1/4 = 2/8

so 8 is twice 4

the time to write pages is twice the number of pages

time = 2 x pages

t=2p in algebraic symbols with t = time in minutes and p= number of pages

or t = f(p) = 2p
