If you read 4/9 of the page in 3/5 minutes

36 seconds represent 3/5 minutes
If 4/9 of the page is read in 36 seconds then
36/4=9 seconds for 1/9 of page
9•9 =81 seconds or 1 min 21 seconds per page
Unit rate is
1/1.35 page per minute

16 seconds per page 60 seconds a minute 60 divided by 16 is 3.75 times 4/9=1.6666666667
1.6666666667 rounded to the nearest tenth is 1.7
