Question

Angelo read 1 1/2 pages in 3 minutes. Find his reading speed in pages per hour.

Answer 1

30 Pages.

Explanation:

We know that there are 60 minutes in an hour, and that 3 goes into 60 20 times (3/60 = 20). Multiply 1 1/2 x 20, and that equals 30 pages.

You can also set it up in fraction form - multiply 1.5/3 times x/60. cross multiply and solve for x. in this case x = 30.
