Answer:
9 3/4 pages = x
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{pages}{minutes} = \frac{pages}{minutes}[/tex] change 3 1/4 to a decimal
[tex]\frac{3.25}{8} = \frac{x}{24}[/tex]
[tex]3.25(24) = 8x[/tex]
[tex]78 = 8x[/tex]
[tex]\frac{78}{8} = x[/tex]
[tex]9.75 = x[/tex]
[tex]9\frac{3}{4} =x[/tex]
working with the fraction
3 1/4 /8 = x/ 24
3 1/4 (24) = 8x
13/4 (24) = 8x
316/4 = 8x
78 = 8x
78/8 = x
9 3/4 = x
