Final answer:
Upon calculating Aiden's reading rate, he would approximately read 47 pages per hour, but since this is not an option and Aiden cannot read a fraction of a page, the closest higher whole number given in the options is 50 pages, thus making Option B the best choice.
Step-by-step explanation:
Aiden reads 63 pages in 1 1/3 hours. To find out how many pages Aiden can read in one hour, we first need to convert the time into an improper fraction. 1 1/3 hours is the same as 4/3 hours since 1 hour is 3/3 plus the 1/3, which altogether is 4/3 hours. We then divide the number of pages read by the total time to get the rate of pages per hour.
Here's the calculation:
- Convert 1 1/3 hours to an improper fraction: 1 1/3 = 4/3 hours.
- Pages per hour rate is: pages read/hours = 63 pages/(4/3 hours)
- Multiply by the reciprocal to simplify: (63/pages)*(3/4) hours = 189/4 pages
- The result is 47.25, which we round down to 47 (since you can't read a fraction of a page).
However, as per the options provided in the question, none of the choices match the calculated answer. Hence, there might be an error in the question or choices given. If needed, Aiden would read approximately 47 pages in one hour, but since this option is not available, we would consider the closest higher whole number, which is Option B, 50 pages.
