Answered by GPT 3.5
To find out how many pages Esme can read in 2 minutes, we can set up a proportion using the given information.

12 pages / 18 minutes = x pages / 2 minutes

Solving for x, we find:

x = (12 * 2) / 18
x = 24 / 18
x = 4/3

Therefore, Esme can read approximately 4/3 or 1.33333... pages in 2 minutes.

No problem! If Esme reads 22 pages, and we want to find out how long it would take her to read those 22 pages, we can use a similar approach.

Let's set up a proportion to solve for the unknown time it would take her:

12 pages / 18 minutes = 22 pages / x minutes

Cross-multiplying:

12 * x = 18 * 22

12x = 396

Dividing both sides by 12:

x = 396 / 12

x = 33

Therefore, it would take Esme approximately 33 minutes to read 22 pages.

To express 2.50 as a fraction, we need to consider the decimal portion of 2.50, which is 0.50.

Since there are two decimal places in 0.50, we can put it over 100 to get the fraction:

0.50 = 50/100

Now, we can simplify the fraction:
50/100 = 1/2

Therefore, 2.50 can be written as the fraction 5/2.
