Question

At the rate that Darla is reading, how long will it take her to read 540 pages?

A 18 hours
B15 hours
C 12 hours
D9 hours

Answer 1

B: 15 hours

Explanation:

Since Dara spends 2 hours reading 72 pages, we can conclude that she spends 1 hour reading 36 pages.

Since we are finding how long it would take for her to read 540 pages, we would divide 540 by 36, which is 15.
