Question

Olive can read 5 pages of her book in 30 minutes at what unit is olive reading

Answer 1

1 page per 6 minutes or 10 pages per hour.

Explanation:

Since we know that when rates are expressed as quantity of 1 they are called unit rates.

We can represent our problem as unit rate in two ways; either by getting our numerator as 1 or our denominator as 1.

`(5 pages)/(30 minutes) =(1)/(6 minutes)`

We know that an hour has 60 minutes. We can get our denominator equal to 60 minutes by multiplying by 2.

`(5*2)/(30*2)= (10 pages)/(60 minutes)`

`(10 pages)/(hour)`

Therefore, Olive is either reading at 10 pages per hour or 1 page per 6 minutes.
