Question

djenba read 32 pages of her newest book in 48 minutes

how long did it take her to read 1 page?

can someone explain to me how to do that?

about how many pages did she read in 1 minute..

part A i got 1.5 minutes is that right and part B i got 21.3 .. correct?

Answer 1

Set up a proportion:

32 pages 1 page
-------------- = ----------
48 mins x

cross multiply:

32x pages = 48 mins pages

get x alone:

48 mins pages
x = ---------------------

32 pages

cancel like terms and reduce:

3
x = ------- minutes
2

or:

x = 1.5 minutes

Answer 2

you got a right (48/32=1.5)

and i got it because every one minute, she had read 1.5 page, and 1.5 multiplied by 48, the total number of minutes she spent reading, you get 32. or you could say

32x (being the amount of pages)= 48
32/32 48/32

x=1.5

Answer 3

pages/minutes
so its 32/48
simplify that to 16/24 to 8/12/ to 4/6 to 2/3
you can keep your answer as 2/3 or you can divide it to get a decimal.
2/3= 1.5


2/3 pages per minute or...
1.5 pages per minute

Answer 4

32/48 page/s per minute,

48/32 minute/page

Answer 5

happy with a view to locate the common of a few thing you will desire to upload each and every of the numbers up and then divide those numbers with the aid of the quantity of distinctive #'s you extra up. Sounds difficult precise? Heres an occasion: In a attempt out of 10 5 people get distinctive attempt rankings. those are 3, 6, 7, 8, and 10. what's the common of those rankings? to resolve this standard upload up the rankings. (3+6+7+8+10) = 34 SO now you are able to desire to divide the sum of the attempt rankings (34) with the aid of the style of rankings (5) This equals 6.8 SOO the common score is 6.8 Now permit's do the mathematics problem: in the 1st hour the common velocity replaced into = 4mph 2d hour the averge velocity replaced into= 4mph in the third hour the common velocity replaced into= 7mph SO 4+4+7= 15 finished Now we would desire to divide the sum (15) with the aid of the # of speeds we extra up (3) 15 divided with the aid of three = 5 the common velocity is 5 mph desire this permits!!!

Answer 6

for part a, i got 1.5
for part b i got 2/3.
i sent it up as a porportion: 1/x and 32/48

Answer 7

rate = progress / time
In this case, rate = 32 pages / 48 minutes.
You can do this with straight arithmetic, or set it up as a ratio:
32 pages : 48 min :: 1 page : ???

Answer 8

divide the # by the time.
