Answer 1

Answer:

Tryone's reading rate = 190 words per minute (to the nearest whole number)

Explanations:

The number of pages in the book = 325

Number of words in the book = 90000

Number of words in each page = 90000 / 325

Number of words in each page = 276.92

Number of pages that Tryone read in 2 hours 10 minutes = 89

Number of words that Tryone read in 2 hours 10 minutes = 89 x 276.92

Number of words that Tryone read in 2 hours 10 minutes = 24645.88

2 hours 10 minutes = 2(60) + 10 minutes

2 hours 10 minutes = 130 minutes

Tryone's reading rate = 24645.88 / 130

Tryone's reading rate = 189.58

Tryone's reading rate = 190 words per minute (to the nearest whole number)
