Q. For history class, Joe spent 22 hours writing a 44-page report on ancient Egypt. This weekend, he needs to write a 1212-page report on the Roman Empire.\newlineIf he writes at the same rate, how long will it take Joe to write his report?\newline___\_\_\_ hours
  1. Calculate Rate of Writing: Calculate Joe's rate of writing pages per hour. He wrote 44 pages in 22 hours, so the rate is 4 pages2 hours=2 pages per hour.\frac{4 \text{ pages}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 2 \text{ pages per hour}.
  2. Determine Time for 1212 Pages: Determine how long it will take Joe to write a 1212-page report at the same rate.\newlineUsing the rate of 22 pages per hour, for 1212 pages it will be 1212 pages / 22 pages per hour = 66 hours.
