Little sister needs help, can anyone explain this to her?

If Ben reads 8 pages in 12 minutes what is his ratio of pages to minutes in simplest form?

Sorry I didn't think it would send twice!!

Respuesta :

we are given

Number pages=8

Time taken =12 minutes

so, ratio = ( number pages)/(time taken)

so, we get

[tex]=\frac{8}{12}[/tex]

now, we can simplify it

we can factor numerator and denominator

[tex]=\frac{2\times 2\times 2}{2\times 2\times 3}[/tex]

now, we can cancel common terms

[tex]=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

So, simplest form is

[tex]=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]..............Answer
