What is a Fraction?

A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25.

As we know that Jeff can read 10.75 (10 3/4) pages in 0.5 hours (1/2 hour), therefore, the rate at which Jeff reads can be written as,

[tex]\rm Rate =\dfrac{\text{Number of Pages}}{\text{Time needed to read}} = \dfrac{10.75}{0.5}[/tex]

Thus, the number of pages that Jeff can read in 1 hour is,

[tex]\rm \text{Number of pages} =\text{(Rate of reading)} \times (1\ hour)[/tex]

                           [tex]\rm= \dfrac{10.75}{0.5}\times 1 = 21.5\ pages[/tex]

Thus, the number of pages that Jeff can read in 1 hour is 21.5 pages.
