Question

If Joan read 75 pages in 4 hours how long will it take her to read 250 pages

Answer 1

13 hours and 20 minutes

Explanation:

Joan read in 4 hours = 75 pages

She read in 1 hour =
`(75)/(4)` pages

= 18.75 pages

It will take her to read 250 pages =
`(250)/(18.75)`

= 13.33 hours.

Now we will convert 0.33 hours to minute.

0.33 × 60 = 19.8 minutes ≈ 20 minutes

It will take her 13 hours and 20 minutes to read 250 pages.
