Question

Jolie can read around 14 sentences per minute of her current novel. She wants to finish her reading before the movie comes out next week. If she has 17 pages left to read and each page has about 120 sentences, how many hours should Jolie set aside to complete her reading?

Answer 1

17 pages x 120 sentences = 2,040 sentences

2,040 ÷ 14 = minutes needed

about 146 minutes needed

146 ÷ 60= hours and minutes left over
2 hours and 26 minutes is the number of hours she should set aside.
I would give myself 2.5 hours just to be safe.
