Question

Ms. Myrie gave her class 20 minutes to read. Carrie read 5 1/2

pages in that time. At what rate, in pages per hour, did Carrie read?

Answer 1

Answer:3.63 pagers per hour

Explanation:

5 1/2 is the same as 5.5

20/5.5=3.63

Answer 2

16.5

Explanation:

60 minutes = 1 hour

20 minutes * 3 = 60.

That means, by multiplying by a factor of 3, we can see exactly what Carrier's pg/hr speed is.

5.5 * 3 = 16.5
