Question

Penelope read 15 1/4 pages in 20 minutes. At what rate, in pages per hour, did she read?

Answer 1

• 45 3/4 pages = 60 minutes

Explanation:

Simply, multiply 3 both sides to get the form in pages/hour.

• => 15 1/4 x 3 = 20 x 3
• => 61/4 x 3 = 60
• => 183/4 = 60
• => 45 3/4 pages = 60 minutes

Hence, the rate in pages per hour is 45 3/4 pages = 60 minutes.
