Cedrick is writing a report. It takes him 4 min to type 5/8 page of the report. At this rate, how many minutes does it take cedrick to type 1 full page of the report?

Respuesta :

Answer:

It will take 6.4 minutes for Cedrick to type 1 full page of the report.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, we want to find out how long it takes Cedrick to type 1/8 of a page. If it takes him 4 minutes to write 5/8 of a page, we can do 5/8 divided by 5, which equals 1/8. We also have to divide 4 by 5 which equals 4/5. So, it takes Cedrick 4/5 of a minute to write 1/8 of a page.

2. We now want to find out how long it takes him to write one page, so we should multiply 1/8 and 4/5 by 8. 1/8 times 8 equals one, and 4/5 times 8 equals 32/5. That means that it takes 32/5 (in decimal form it is 6.4) minutes to write one page of the report.
