If you read for 52 pages an hour and you have read for an hour and a half you have read 78 pages.

1. 52 divided by 2 = 26 (this is how long you can read in a half an hour)
2. 52+26= 78 (this is how long you can read in an hour and a half)

I tried to explain as best as i could i hope this helps

Answer:

78 pages

You can read 52 pages per hour and therefore in half an hour you can read:

For an hour and half you read:

  • 52 + 26 = 78 pages
