Q. Question\newlineCooper read 1612 16 \frac{1}{2} pages in 34 \frac{3}{4} of an hour. At what rate, in pages per hour, did he read?\newlineAnswer Attempt 11 out of 22\newlineAnswer type: Mixed number\newlineT pages per hour
  1. Identify total pages and time: Identify the total number of pages read and the time taken to read them.\newlineCooper read 161216\frac{1}{2} pages in 34\frac{3}{4} of an hour.
  2. Convert mixed number: Convert the mixed number 16(12)16\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) to an improper fraction to make the calculation easier.\newline16(12)=(16×2+1)/2=(32+1)/2=33216\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = \left(16 \times 2 + 1\right)/2 = \left(32 + 1\right)/2 = \frac{33}{2} pages
  3. Calculate rate: Calculate the rate by dividing the number of pages by the time taken. \newlineRate = Number of pagesTime taken\frac{\text{Number of pages}}{\text{Time taken}} \newlineRate = 332\frac{33}{2} pages / 34\frac{3}{4} hour
  4. Multiply by reciprocal: To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal.\newlineRate = 332\frac{33}{2} pages * 43\frac{4}{3} hour1^{-1}
  5. Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication to find the rate.\newlineRate = (33×4)/(2×3)(33 \times 4) / (2 \times 3) pages per hour\newlineRate = 132/6132 / 6 pages per hour\newlineRate = 2222 pages per hour
