I'm not understanding this problem. Write the rate in lowest terms. A printer can print 3 pages in 12 seconds. I need somebody to help me with this question.

Answer 1

Cora -- don't you think it's time for you to study your book and try to answer these questions yourself?

I'll be glad to check your answer.

Answer 2

I study this answer in the book, Determine whether y=15 is a solution to the proportion. To 14.2=7.1 over 29=y and the question was yes or no, and I say yes this problem. Can you see if its right or wrong please.

Answer 3

Your problem doesn't make any sense.

Is this what you mean?

14.2/7.1 = 29/y

If so, y does not equal 15.
