Math Problem (fractions)

You can read 1and4/3 of a textbook page in 2 min. How many pages will you have read if you read for 12 minutes?

    Correct Rosemary, but can you explain how you got your answer?

    first you take 1and 4/3 and turn it into an improper fraction, which would be 7/3. next you figure out how many 2s can go into 12 (which is 6). after that, you take 7/3 and mutiply it by 6, after reducing your answer, the final answer would be 14 pages.
