To find the rate at which Ian can type in pages per minute, we can first find out how much of a page he can type in 1 minute.
Ian can type 1/3 of a page in 3/4 of a minute. To find out how much he can type in 1 minute, we can set up a proportion:
(1/3) page / (3/4) minute = x pages / 1 minute
Cross multiply:
(1/3) * 1 = (3/4) * x
1 / 3 = 3x / 4
4 = 9x
x = 4/9
Therefore, Ian can type 4/9 of a page in 1 minute. This means that he can type approximately 0.444 pages per minute.
Ian can type 1/3 of a page in 3/4 of a minute determine the pages per minute
