Answer 2

Fran took 4.76 hours to read 257 pages.

Explanation:

Using unitary method,

Unitary method is used to find the value of a single unit.

54 pages can be read in 1 hour.

So, 1 page can be read in
`(1)/(54)` hours.

To read 257 pages = Time taken to read 1 page * number of pages to read

=
`(1)/(54) * 257`

= 4.75925 (approximately)

As we have to find answer in nearest hundredth so it is 4.76 Hours.

Thus, Fran took 4.76 hours to read 257 pages.
