Question

Malcolm is reading a history book. It takes him 12 minutes to read 5 pages. At that rate, how many pages can Malcolm read in 1 hour?

Answer 1

Answer: Malcolm can read 25 pages in 1 hour if he maintains the same reading speed.

Explanation:

First, let's calculate how many pages Malcolm can read in 1 minute:

5 pages / 12 minutes = 0.4167 pages per minute (rounded to four decimal places)

To find out how many pages Malcolm can read in 1 hour, we need to multiply the number of pages he can read in 1 minute by the number of minutes in an hour:

0.4167 pages per minute * 60 minutes per hour = 25 pages per hour (rounded to the nearest whole number)

Therefore, Malcolm can read 25 pages in 1 hour if he maintains the same reading speed.

Answer 2

In 1 hour, Malcolm can read 60 pages.
