Question

Vanita can read an average of 18 pages during a 30-minute reading period at school. At this rate, approximately how long will it take her to read a 380-page book?

Answer 1

633.33 minutes

Explanation:

From the question, we know that:

18 pages = 30 minutes

380 pages = x minutes

Cross Multiply

18 pages × x minutes = 30 minutes × 380 pages

x minutes = 30 minutes × 380 pages /18 pages

x minutes = 633.33333333 minutes

Approximately = 633.33 minutes

It would take Vanita 633.33 minutes to read 380 pages
