Answer:

No, he incorrectly rounded 1.25 to 2

Explanation:

To find out how many pages Yutto writes in 1 hour we divide

1.25/2=0.625

Now we multiply

0.625×6=3.75

3.75≠6

So now we know that Yutto was incorrect so we can eliminate the last two options. Now how did he get his original estimate? For option A,

1.25 is rounded to 2

2/2=1

1×6=6

So the answer is A
