Answer:

Ethan can type 6 pages before meeting starts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Ethan can type 2 pages in 1/8 hours

and his meeting is 3/4 hours late.

To find,

number of pages Ethan can type in 3/4 hours

1)

convert hours to minutes

1 hour      = 60 minutes

1/8 hours = 1/8 * 60

               = 7.5 minutes

3/4 hours = 3/4 * 60

                = 45 minutes

2)

calculate pages typed

7.5 minutes     = 1 page typed

    1 minute      = 1/7.5 pages typed

    45 minutes = (1/7.5) * 45

                        = 6 pages typed
