Answer 1

28 1/4

Explanation:

113 pages ÷ 4 hours

Answer 2

28 and One-quarter pages per hour

Explanation:

Fanny plans to read a book of 113 pages in 4 hours.

Let the number of pages she needs to read in an hour =x

Using ratio of the total to a part

113:x = 4: 1

`(113)/(x) =(4)/(1)`

Cross multiplying

4x=113

Dividing both sides by 4

`(4x)/(4) =(113)/(4)`

`x=28(1)/(4)`

She needs to read 28 and One-quarter pages per hour to reach her target.
