pages at this same rate, how long will it take her?

Answer 1

166 2/3

Explanation:

Let's start by finding out Laine's page per minute rate. We can do this by dividing the number of pages she reads by how long she takes to read them.

25/30 = 5/6 or 0.8333

Now, to find how long it will take her to read 200 pages, let's mutiply the page per minute rate by 200:

200 * 5/6 = 1000/6 or 500/3

Simplify:

166 2/3

I think this is the right number. Hope this helps!
