someone help and explain i need to pass this plzz

Answer 1

About 2.5 hours to complete the book.

17 pages* 120 sentences=2,040 sentences

2,040÷14= minutes needed

146 minutes roughly are needed .

146÷60= hours and minutes left over.

So about 2 hours and 26 minutes or 2.5 to be safe.

Hope this helps!
