Question

Sarah read 64 1/2 pages of her book in 6 hours. What is the average number of pages that Sarah reads per hour?

Answer 1

We conclude that the average number of pages that Sarah reads per hour will be: 10.75 page per hour

Explanation:

Given

• Number of pages Sarah read
  `=64(1)/(2)=(129)/(2) = 64.5`

• Number of hours Sarah spent = 6 hours

The average number of pages per hour can be calculated by simply dividing the total number of pages i.e. 64.5 pages by the number of hours spent on reading i.e. 6 hours.

Thus,

Average number of pages per hour = 64.5 pages / 6 hours

= 10.75 page per hour

Therefore, we conclude that the average number of pages that Sarah reads per hour will be: 10.75 page per hour
