Answer:

Ethan can type 12 pages before the meeting starts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of pages he can type =2

Number of hours he can type 2 pages = [tex]\frac{1}8\ hrs[/tex]

We need to find number of pages he can type in [tex]\frac34\ hrs[/tex]

Solution:

Now first we will find number of pages in 1 hour

So we can say;

In [tex]\frac{1}8\ hrs[/tex] = 2 pages

In 1 hour = number of pages he can type in 1 hour

By Using Unitary method we get;

number of pages he can type in 1 hour = [tex]\frac{2}{\frac18} =\frac{2\times8}{1}=16\ pages[/tex]

Now we can say that;

In 1 hour = 16 pages

So [tex]\frac34\ hrs[/tex] = number of pages he can type in [tex]\frac34\ hrs[/tex]

Again By using Unitary method we get;

number of pages he can type in [tex]\frac34\ hrs[/tex] = [tex]16\times \frac34 = 12\ pages[/tex]

Hence Ethan can type 12 pages before the meeting starts.
