Kyle reads 3/4 pages in 1 minute. How many minutes will it take him to read 4 1/2 pages?

(3/4) / 1 = x / 4 1/2

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!
0.75 / 1 = x / 4.5

x = 0.75 * 4.5

x = 3.375 = 3 1/8 pages
