Answer:

4.1 pages per minute

Explanation:

In fraction form we want one minute not five minutes

20.5/5 is what we have but we need x/1

To do this we divide by 5 for the denominator and numerator

20.5/5=4.1

5/5=1

Our answer is 4.1/1 or just 4.1

In ratio form it would be:

pages:minutes

20.5:5

4.1:1
