Question

Mary reads 3 1/4 pages in 1 1/4 minutes. How many pages will Mary read in one minute?

Answer 1

3 minutes

Explanation:

3 1/4 in 1 1/4 minutes if you subtract 1/4 from 1 1/4 minutes you get one minute and if you subtract 1/4 from 3 1/4 you get 3 therefore 3 pages per minute.

Answer 2

• In 1 minute, Mary will read 2.6 pages.

Explanation:

We know that:

• 3 1/4 pages = 1 1/4 minutes

Work:

• 13/4 pages = 5/4 minutes
• 13 pages = 5 minutes
• => 13/5 pages = 1 minute
• => 2.6 pages = 1 minute

Hence, in 1 minute, Mary will read 2.6 pages.
