Question

Rebecca writes 1/5 of a page in 1/14 minute. How many pages can she write in one minute? (fraction) pages per minute.

HELP I BEG!!

Answer 1

She can write 2 pages and 4/5 extra.

Explanation:

We know that she has already written for 1/14 of a minute. Now we need to turn that fraction into a whole, because the problem is asking for a whole minute.

___ x 1/14 = 1?

14

Now we take the 1/5, and multiply it by the 14 to see how much she writes in a minute.

1/5 x 14 = 14/5

Last we simplify.

14/5 = 2 4/5
