1. Michelle reads 1,200 words in 7 minutes, and Tricia reads 700 words in 3 minutes.
Who is the faster reader?
2.Find the unit price for the item:
$6.96 for a dozen pears.
Simple division for both problems.
1200/7 =
700/3 =
And then compare.
6.96/12 =

1. 233.
2. 0.58
1.2 inches of rain in five hours. Is the rate equivalent to the rate of 2.1 inches of rain in eight hours?
1. To determine who is the faster reader, we need to calculate their reading speeds. Reading speed is typically measured in words per minute (WPM).
For Michelle, she reads 1,200 words in 7 minutes. Therefore, her reading speed is 1,200 words / 7 minutes = 171.43 WPM (rounded to 2 decimal places).
For Tricia, she reads 700 words in 3 minutes. Therefore, her reading speed is 700 words / 3 minutes = 233.33 WPM (rounded to 2 decimal places).
Comparing their reading speeds, we can see that Tricia is the faster reader, with a reading speed of 233.33 WPM compared to Michelle's reading speed of 171.43 WPM.
2. To find the unit price, we need to divide the total price by the quantity.
In this case, the total price is $6.96 and the quantity is a dozen, which means 12 pears.
To find the unit price, we divide the total price of $6.96 by 12 (the number of pears).
$6.96 / 12 = $0.58 (rounded to 2 decimal places).
Therefore, the unit price for the item is $0.58 per pear.
