Answer:

she will read 22 pages :)

Explanation:

  • Convert 3/4 of an hour into minutes - 60 x 3/4 = 45
  • so kellantra is reading 16.5 pages every 45 minutes
  • kellantra has 15 minutes left before an hour has passed, so divide 16.5 by 3 to work how how much she reads in 1/4 of an hour
  • 16.5/3 = 5.5 pages per 1/4 hour

  • add your values: 16.5 + 5.5 = 22 pages!
