Question

Penny reads 14 pages in 1/4 hour. What is the unit rate for hours per page

Answer 1

56 pages per hour

Explanation:

Penny reads 14 pages in 1/4 of an hour.

An hour is 4 times more than 1/4 of an hour (you could think of it as 15 minutes compared to 60 minutes)

Multiply the amount penny reads in 1/4 of an hour (14 pages) by 4 to get the rate she reads in 1 hour.

14 x 4 = 56

Now add the rate of time (per hour) to get that she reads a total of 56 pages per hour.

Hope this helps!
