Question

If Jacob wrote a 6-page paper in 5 hours and Olivia wrote a 3-page paper in 2 hours, who wrote at a faster rate? Show your work.

Answer 1

divide the number of pages by the time taken... is will give you a rate of pages per hour...

then the faster will be the larger value

Answer 2

Jacob: 6 pages in 5 hours, means every hour he can write 6/5, which is 1.2page(dunno if this word takes the plural form)

Olivia: same logic, 3/2=1.5page per jour

Answer 3

thank you
