Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided information, we are going to calculate how many pages does she read in 2 minutes, so we obtain the following:

1.5 minutes -> 1.25 pages

2 muntes -> x pages

Then, we have the following equation:


\begin{gathered} x=(2\cdot1.25)/(1.5) \\ x\approx1.66 \end{gathered}

Finally we obtain that Sarah reads approximately 1.66 pages in 2 minutes.
