Final answer:

Ajay will read about 28 3/4 pages in one hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many pages Ajay will read in an hour, we first need to find the rate at which he reads pages in one hour. Since he reads 11 1/2 pages in 2/5 of an hour, we can divide 11 1/2 by 2/5 to find the rate per hour. To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction, so we have (11 1/2) ÷ (2/5) = (23/2) × (5/2) = 115/4 = 28 3/4 pages per hour.

Therefore, Ajay will read about 28 3/4 pages in one hour.
