Answer:

3. The unit rate is 0.67 pages per minute

Explanation:

1. Let's check all the information given to us to solve the question:

Number of pages Anna Maria can read = 40

Time needed by Anna Maria to read those 40 pages = 60 minutes or 1 hour

2. What is her unit rate in pages per minute?

Current speed of reading of Anna Maria = 40 pages per hour

For calculating the unit rate in pages per minute, we do the following calculation:

40 pages/60 per 60 minutes/60 (Dividing by 60 the number of pages and the time needed)

2/3 pages per minute = 0.67 pages per minute (from fraction to decimals)

3. Anna Maria can read 0.67 pages per minute
