you write 5 1/2 pages of a report in 2 1/3 hours. What is the average number of pages you write per hour?
(5 1/2)pages / (2 1/3)hr = (11/2) / (7/3)
= 11/2 * 3/7
= 33/14 pages/hr
= 2 5/14 pages/hr

the answer is 45/56/67/67
To find the average number of pages written per hour, we need to calculate the number of pages written in one hour. Let's break down the given information step by step:
1) Convert the mixed number (5 1/2) into an improper fraction.
5 1/2 = (5 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 11/2
2) Convert the mixed number (2 1/3) into an improper fraction.
2 1/3 = (2 * 3 + 1) / 3 = 7/3
3) Determine the number of pages written in 2 1/3 hours.
Number of pages = (11/2) * (7/3)
= (11 * 7) / (2 * 3)
= 77 / 6
4) Divide the number of pages by the number of hours to find the average number of pages written per hour.
Average number of pages per hour = (77/6) / (7/3)
= (77/6) * (3/7)
= 231 / 42
= 11/2
= 5.5
Therefore, the average number of pages written per hour is 5.5 pages.
