to set up the equation we will use h to represent the number of hours. we are going to eventually solve for h.
A.) 8 1/5h=32 4/5 this is your base equation. this is made by taking the known number of paragraphs Mr.M can write in an hour and multiplying it by h to equal the known number of paragraphs he wrote.
B.) 8 1/5h=32 4/5. to find h simply divide each side by 8 1/5. this will zero out the 8 1/5, and make 32 4/5 become 4. h=4. Mr.M worked for 4 hours to write 32 4/5 paragraphs. I hope I helped you learmpn and understand this concept. please give me a thanks and brainliest! I am trying to rank up!!
