Mitchell · Answer 1

The two fractions that we can extract from the given rates above are:

(1) 12 pages / 20 minutes

(2) 20 pages / 32 minutes

We can reduce the fractions or rates to their lowest term by dividing the numbers by 4 such that,

(1) 3 pages / 5 minutes

(2) 5 pages / 8 minutes

Therefore, the rates are not equivalent.
