Question

connor edits 34 pages in 8 hours. complete the table using equivalent ratios. time (hours) pages 8 34 1 12

Explanation:

Step1: Find pages per hour

Let \( x \) be pages edited in 1 hour. The ratio of pages to time should be equal. So, \(\frac{34}{8}=\frac{x}{1}\). Solving for \( x \), we get \( x = \frac{34}{8}=\frac{17}{4} = 4.25\).

Step2: Find pages in 12 hours

Let \( y \) be pages edited in 12 hours. Using the ratio \(\frac{34}{8}=\frac{y}{12}\). Cross - multiply: \(8y=34\times12\). Then \(y = \frac{34\times12}{8}=\frac{408}{8} = 51\).

Answer:

For 1 hour: \(\frac{17}{4}\) (or 4.25), for 12 hours: 51. So the table values are 4.25 (or \(\frac{17}{4}\)) and 51.
