Answer 1

268.67 pages per hour

She read the whole book is 1.79 hours.

Explanation:

Shryia read for 1.5 hours 403 pages of a 481 page book. Her rate is the number of pages she read divided by the time it took her.

403 / 1.5 = 268.67 pages per 1 hour.

To find how long it took her to read the whole book, divide 481 by her rate.

481 / 268.67 = 1.79

She read the whole book is 1.79 hours.
