Question

Ms Graves gave her class 12 minutes to read. Carrie read 5/1/2 pages in that time. At what rate, in the pages per hour, did Carrie read?

Answer 1

Carrie read 5.5 pages in 12 minutes. 60 minutes = 1 hour

divide 12 into 60 = 5 So you have 5 sets of 12 minutes

multiply 5.5 pages by 5 sets of minutes = 27.5 pages per hour
