Ms. Sue
(3/4) / 1 = x / 4 1/2
0.75 / 1 = x / 4.5
Cross multiply and solve for x.
0.75 / 1 = x / 4.5
Cross multiply and solve for x.

Not understanding your problem Mrs.Sue. Can you please break it down. Thank you!
Ms. Sue
0.75 / 1 = x / 4.5
x = 0.75 * 4.5
x = 3.375 = 3 1/8 pages
x = 0.75 * 4.5
x = 3.375 = 3 1/8 pages
