cade reads 5/6 pages in 2/3 minutes. What is the unite rate in pages for minute?
(5/6 pp) / (2/3 min) = 5/6 * 3/2 = 5/4 pp/min
5/6 pages in 2/3 minutes
----> 1 page in (2/3) รท (5/6) minutes
= (2/3)(6/5) minutes
= 4/5 minutes
or
5/6 pages in 2/3 minutes
= 5 pages in (2/3)(6) or 4 minutes
= 1 page in 4/5 minutes
or
1/(5/6) = x/(2/3)
(5/6)x = 2/3
x = (2/3)(6/5) = 12/15 = 4/5
Argggh,, I did minutes per page, go with oobleck
To find the unit rate in pages per minute, we need to divide the pages read by the time taken. In this case, Cade reads 5/6 pages in 2/3 minutes.
In order to divide fractions, we need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
Reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2.
So, to find the unit rate, we multiply 5/6 by 3/2:
(5/6) * (3/2) = (5 * 3) / (6 * 2) = 15/12
Simplifying this fraction, we get:
15/12 = 5/4
Therefore, the unit rate in pages per minute is 5/4.
