Question

Greta read a 900 pages book in 15 days, reading for 5 hours every day What was her reading rate in pages per minute?.

Answer 1

900 pages in 15 days
60 pages a day
60 pages per 5 hours
60 pages per 300 minutes
1 page per 5 minutes

Answer 2

Greta can read 0.2 (a fifth) of a page per minute

So, we know it takes Greta 5 hours to read 60 pages a day because 900/15 is 60. 5 hours is 300 minutes, and 60/300 is 0.2. Therefore, Greta can read 0.2 or a fifth of a page per minute, or one page per five minutes.
